How to use a different home page and not the joomla home page

You have Joomla and when a person enters your domain in a browser it goes to the Joomla defined home page.

What if you want a visitor to start at a completely different page?  You want them to go to a flash landing page, or something completely different.

Can you do this?

YES.



It all done because the way the server/browser works.

When you enter a domain name "home" URL.

1) the server first looks for a file called "index.html"
2) if not found, it looks for a file called "index.php"

...getting it?

To have a web visitor or user start at a non-Joomla page, just create an HTML file in your website's root (not the server's root) called index.html


If you are not sure where to put it - it is in the same directory as the index.php file.

Joomla's index.php will not be displayed.

Put anything you like in the index.html file.

Easy.   Was this helpful?
