Responsive dynamic homepage made of content of blocks, fully configurable through the Owner's Portal
Homepage Overview
The homepage serves as a landing page for your application. The homepage consists primarily of a set of homepage block entries, such as a slideshow or simple contact form.
Homepage maker
Your app will generally have three types of homepages:
Our standard dynamic homepage (this page) - if you want to use our homepage creator to create and manage your homepage through Bubble
A simple page (like login) - if you want to have the landing page hosted elsewhere (like Wix, Squarespace, Landen, etc.)
Another page - sometimes you won't want to have a "home" page at all, instead you might want to people inside of your tool
If you're opting for #1 (the default), you will leverage our custom homepage maker, which includes a call-to-action and the ability to add any number of “blocks” with information like:
Press
Process
Video
Slideshow
Capabilities
Featured

Pricing

You can set most of the content through the Owner’s Portal, but you will have to define the main action button in the top section via the Bubble Editor. For more instructions on how to set up your home page, please read our Quickstart guide here.
For apps that are linked to from another homepage that the you manage separately (e.g., using Squarespace), you can go with a simple home page with the signup/login reusable on it (e.g., you can use the login
page or loginsimple
page in the template).
Key Workflows
Redirecting
There are two redirect rules on the index page:
When
user is logged in
andCurrent user's Owner? is "no"
andGet stay from page url is not "yes"
--> Go to pagedashboard
When
user is logged in
andCurrent user's Owner? is "yes"
andGet stay from page url is not "yes"
--> Go to pageowne
This means that if the user is an Owner user and they're not intending to visit the homepage they should be taken to the Owner's Portal
You should add any additional redirect rules to this index page since every user who is logged in will be taken to it first before being redirected to another page
On other pages (like login) the app will redirect the user to the index
page whenever they log-in, so that they can be redirected to an appropriate page afterwards. Think of this page as a traffic cop - when your users log in or log out, they pass through it to be directed to the right page.
Button Search (Center) or Button Search (Left) is clicked
Sends the user to the search page with a parameter -
q
- which contains a keyword or phrase inputted by the user
