How to Add a Splash Page Before an index.html Page
A Splash Page allows you to add a flashy presentation to your website. Use this page to display your company logo and slogan, names of reputable clients, company history or a brief description of your products and services. By default, the “index.html” file is the first page a person sees when visiting your site. Once your Splash Page is created, it only takes a few seconds to activate it as your site's introductory page.
