Designing a CMS home page
We've created our Libraries Collection and added some library items to it. Even though most of the entries are not quite real yet, we can still design our home page to get a feel for how the page will come together. Especially now that we've updated one of the items to display some more realistic data, it can give us a better sense of the website's design.
So, let's go ahead and start designing the home page. Our end goal is to make the home page look similar to Figure 10.10, displaying libraries in a two-column grid and allowing users to filter the libraries dynamically by continent:
