Make home page theme different than rest of site?

Author Message Grant Posted: 4/14/2009 Quote message  Can anyone help in how to make a static home page theme template that is different than the rest of the site? And how you go about implementing this? ie all of the rest of the site is the same layout except for the home page.   Jeroen Posted: 4/16/2009 Quote message  Interested to here! I know there are some plugins... But its not what i'm looking for!   Marc Smith Posted: 4/16/2009 Quote message  This wouldn't be something you do in Artisteer, it's simple web design and code basics. Wordpress uses the filename index.php as it's "front page". Everything is constructed around the framework set up in that page. However, if you create an index.html file and put it in the same directory and modify your .htacess file to that it loads html first and php second, anyone coming to your page would see the HTML file first and from that you can link to your Wordpress install.
