XF 1.5 Building a custom home page

[ogeode]

Hello,

I am new to XF and I need assistance on how to make my homepage look like this: www.nairaland.com.
I was going to use Wordpress as the homepage but my client has decided to change the design.

What I want to achieve is to
* have some buttons/links above the category section
* be able to list categories and their forums
* have a list of featured post which will be added by the admin/moderator from any of the forums

Thanks.

Anybody please?

Why dont you create or purchase a Home/ Landing page for the site. Then link it to the xenforo board. This way you can set up links etc on the custom html page.
