View source for Front page

{{Site appearance}}
The front page is the initial page seen by someone reaching a Moodle site after or before a login.  Typically a student will see [[Courses|courses]], some [[Blocks|blocks]] of information, displayed in a [[Themes|theme]].  In the [[Navigation bar]] and [[Navigation block]] it is called "Home".

A combination of [[Site policies|site policies]], [[Authentication|user authentication]] and [[Front page settings | front page settings]] determine who can get to the front page. And once they get there [[Front Page settings|what they can see]] and [[Roles|what they can do]].  

In many ways, a Front Page has similar features and functions to those in a [[Course]]. For example, [[Activities]], [[Resources]] and [[Blocks]] can be added to the Front Page to give it different looks.
