Take a look at Front Page Options, a mock-up of a front page design for the site.
Read the note at the bottom, which explains what it is and is not. You can click on “edit” in order to look at it in the “list view” (see the Getting Started FAQ “How was that page constructed?”), but if you want to play with it, which I hope you will, please duplicate it and refile the copy under your own XXX Demo Pages (see the Getting Started FAQ “Duplicate a page”.)
I’m not very happy with the footer menu and will fix it later. I guess that’s not what they mean by a footer menu; I’ll make my own “Quick Links” block instead. The footer menu is probably supposed to be the social media icons.
