Use this interactive demo to learn how to set any page as your WordPress homepage.

Quick summary

Setting a static homepage in WordPress lets you control exactly what visitors see when they land on your site. This guide walks through how to set a page as the homepage directly from the WordPress dashboard Pages menu in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Navigate to Pages in the left-side menu of your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Find the page you want to use as your homepage and click the ellipsis icon next to it.
  3. From the dropdown options, select Set as Homepage.
  4. Your selected page is now live as the homepage of your WordPress site.

📌 Why this matters

Choosing the right homepage in WordPress is one of the most important decisions for your site's user experience and SEO performance. By setting a custom static page as your homepage, you ensure visitors land on purposefully designed content rather than a default blog feed. WordPress makes this process straightforward through the Pages dashboard, allowing site owners to update their homepage without touching any code or theme settings. This capability gives bloggers, small businesses, and developers full control over their site's first impression.
