1. Click Site administration > General and scroll down to Site home settings.
  2. Change the full name and short name if needed.
  3. Decide what should be shown on the front page - news items, courses, course categories or none of these things? The same or different for logged in and non-logged in users? As for other settings, they can always be changed later.

For more information, see Front page settings.

To add text and/or images to the central area of the front page:

  1. Enable Edit mode' top right.
  2. Click the configuration icon (cogwheel) near the top of the screen. (If you don't see this, check in Site administration > General > Site home settings that 'Include a topic section' is ticked.)
  3. Add text and/or images to the summary box.

Note: If you don't want to use your front page for displaying courses or information about your organisation, you can display the login page only by checking "force login" in Site administration > General > Security > Site security settings.
