I spent about half an hour tonight playing with the Parabola settings. I was finally able to de-clutter the front page by making it a presentation page. Hopefully this will allow us to introduce site visitors with an attractive visual display right off the bat. I think that we will be able to insert photographs on the top slider and timelines/maps in the row beneath it. Maybe these can then lead to other pages? My biggest concern right now is that this will look too unprofessional, but we’ll have to wait and see how it turns out. Worse comes to worse, we can just get rid of the presentation page and work with a standard home page.
