# Front Page

To set up a template from scratch, we need to add a Front Page template.

The Home Page displays your site's homepage, whether it is set to display latest posts or a static page. 

The Front Page template takes precedence over all templates.

* In the Dashboard, open the Cwicly Themer.

Depending on the content of your Post(s), the site should now look something like this.

We will now create a Global Header and Footer that will automatically be added to each page.

{% content-ref url="header" %}

{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="footer" %}
