Welcome to Athena, a fantastic and sleek theme that makes a perfect business theme as well as a powerful blog or shop theme. Athena’s homepage contains a unique slider controlled by tags, a big welcome message area to welcome users to your site, a portfolio to show off your work, and even if that doesn’t seem perfect for you the homepage is widgetized.
If you want to use widgets on the homepage, start adding widgets to the Homepage widget area and those will override the default setup of the welcome message and portfolio area. The slider will stay no matter which setup you use, but you can use the Woo – Component widget to rearrange the welcome message or portfolio area, as well as add any other widget you think will fit on your homepage.
