Mechanics of Alt Home Pages

The basic mechanics of creating alternative home pages is described here.

However, this leaves it up to you to create all the independent content on the pages. In practice, even with truly unique content there tends to be common content such as the address, logos, years in business, etc.    HotDoodle has a very cool clone page capability that allows you to blend shared and unique content within a copy.

First, create a page called "[ Alt Home Pages ]" under home and at a peer level with the [ SEO ] page. Important: this page must "Allow public access?" or else the pages under it will not be available for use, so unclick "Show in menus?".

On the new page, add a general block in the yellow style (we use yellow for instructions) and say something like

The pages under here become home pages if visited first in a session -- these provide different home pages with different content (and different SEO) for the various domains,

The pages look similar, but differ in their main text and in their SEO terms.

Next, add a 2 column container block, with the columns equally sized.

The first column will be covered later.

In the second column add a menu block in the Direct Children Only view -- this will show you your Alt Home Pages as you create them.
