Now instead of appearing like this, How do we make this page as our homepage So next, let’s go to step 2 which is to ‘set the page we created, as our homepage’. So to set our homepage, to this page let’s go to our wordpress dashboard, then go to settings, and click reading Now here you can see that, we have this option Called ‘your homepage displays’. And it is now set to ‘latest post’ which means it will show the most recent blog posts on our homepage. Now to keep the page we created as the homepage, First we need to select a ‘static page’, And then select the page we created, as our homepage. So let’s click here... & then select ‘home’, Which is the page we created. Okay, so now we have successfully set the page we created, as our homepage. So now if we click save, And then go to our site And click ‘refresh’ You can see that, we have now got our homepage. So this is how you can set your homepage. Next, let’s see how this home page appears on our mobile phone. So Let’s open our website on mobile As you can see, our page is automatically optimized for mobile. And this is how it looks. Now here you can see that, the text is a bit too large for mobile. So Next, let’s see how you can reduce this font size on mobiles.

Once you’re done with the changes Click ‘update’. Now if we go to our site on mobile And refresh the page You can see that, our font size has been reduced.
