2.3 Customize Page Layout and Focus Boxes

This page is divided into three tabs.  Custom Focus Boxes allows you to create your own custom focus box. Manage Focus Boxes allows you to select the focus boxes that you want to display on the homepage of your website.  Page Layout allows you to select the page layout you desire for your homepage.  Focus boxes contain specific content (including images), links to other pages, and lead capture forms.
