# 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.

* Open "+ Default" to open a list of choices.

* Choose the Cwicly Post Content block.

* The Front Page now displays the Post Content block you have added.

In order to view the posts that have been added to the Front Page, you need to view it from the Front End.

* Click the "View" icon in the Top Bar and select "View Site" in the dropdown.

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="/pages/jWYIfaIdkHIa7LYYBk1k" %}
[Header](/beginners-guide/create-your-front-page/header.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/6o7ksrbndvzonj79vPCM" %}
[Footer](/beginners-guide/create-your-front-page/footer.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cwicly.com/beginners-guide/create-your-front-page/front-page.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
