Hi Terry. You could try checking out this post to see if it helps you accomplish what you need: Creating a unique homepage with CSS and Javascript. If not, please reply with any further questions, and hopefully we can help you out.

Hi Terry,

If you look at the masterpage you will notice that there is a section for the home page and a section for the interior page. This is where you would define the different layouts. You can then also define different styles for the home/interior pages as they will have different css classes.

Hi Terry, as Melissa pointed out, you could certainly use JavaScript/CSS to style the interior section differently from the homepage section. I prefer to use server-side code to handle this because this will result in less data being transferred to the end user, and less browser processing required.

All I do is set the homepage/interior page panels to be visible depending on the URL of the current page:

In my master page, I do this:

protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnPreRender(e);

if (Request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains("my_unique_homepage_name.aspx") && !Request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains("login.aspx") && !Request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains("sign_in.aspx"))
{
pnlHomePage.Visible = true;
pnlInsidePage.Visible = false;
}
else
{
pnlHomePage.Visible = false;
}
}

There are certainly more elegant ways to get this done, but this does the trick for at least one of my clients.

Cheers,
James

Thanks for the tips everyone. I'll look into this. I remember being able to do it in previous templates but haven't tried it in the new themes.
