Clickable image as homepage on existing template?

Str8 · 06:12 PM

Hello, I was wondering if this was possible. I want to have an image as my "home page" that covers the whole screen, but that does not show all the menu tabs or any stuff that is on the template I am using. I was thinking that the image would be clickabe, that with the click would direct them to my "Products" page. In other words a dedicated page I guess with a click to enter Image that takes you to my "products" page. And on all my other pages (ie. Products, Contact Us) have a "HOME" tab, which they already do, but direct them back to the clickable click to enter image home screen. Hopefully I am not being too confusing. Thanks for the help.

You mean something like this:

HTML Code:

<html>
 <body>
  <a href="products page">
   <img src="img url" />
  </a>
 </body>
</html>

I see what you're doing, yea somewhat like that. Just one thing, will it work even though I have a template?

Take a look at my site:
Website

The image at the top, kind of like in the banner is what I want to use as the main picture on the homepage.

When I go to "modify layout" then go to html mode, there's a whole bunch of CSS which I do not feel very comfortable with, assuming that's what they did the template on. I don't really see where I could put this html code along with the CSS code and still work. Is it possible?

Can I pm you my current code, so you can take a look at it, and see if it could still work?

What you'll have to do is rename your current home page and then upload the script I wrote above and name it index.html.

Am I re-naming my Home to index.html? or making a new one and name it index.html, along with putting that code in that page. Also, with that script are all my pages still going to be able to be linked, including index.html? Sorry if I am being too confusing

I don't see why they shouldn't be able to be linked. Easy to find the answe, do as mentioned and then you can come tell me

I'm confused

I'm probably just confusing myself

I must admit that I've felt this thread was abit confusing, but as I see it's like this:
rename the file you have now called index.html to a new name (ex. indexw.html). Then make a new page that is called index.html. On this new page is where you would put the html posted by lobrc. This way users will see the picture first, since index.html is the default start page.

HTML Code:

<html>
 <body>
  <a href="products page">
   <img src="img url" />
  </a>
 </body>
</html>
