Thanks for the advice Sanjip, here are the instructions for business layout –
” You can show your homepage as business layout format as in our demo.
Create a page and choose Business Template from Template drop down.
Go to Settings->Reading settings
Choose Front Page Display ->A static Page->Front page->Choose this page
We have three custom widget especially designed for business layout home page Theme Horse:Services,Theme Horse:Featured widget and Theme Horse: Testimonial
Go toAppearance-> Widget.
Drag and Drop any widget from below three widget to Business Page Sidebar
Click Save ”
The problem is when you follow these instructions the “Home” page does not show up in the drop down menu for the static front page.
Also I’m reticent to create a new home page because I don’t want to lose the slider, custom header, tagline (slogan) etc.
