XF 2.0 Create a new page with images and text to them be my home page?

[oneobgyn]

I am trying to work out how I can add some image panels and some text to promote threads in my forum. Is there a way to ;

1. Create a more traditional web page, not a forum list as such.
2. Add some images and some text, with links to threads in the forum.
3. Make that page assigned as my home page.

I can create the html in Dreamweaver, but need to understand how I can paste it into a page.
It would also be nice to have some company pages, article pages, a bit like Wordpress can do, that I can link to my navigation.

Any ideas how to do this?

Here is an example I found (in Xenforo)

Create widgets and place them into the page template HTML
For example

<xf:widget key="XD_FTSlider_widget" />
<xf:widget key="Welcome"/>

<xf:css>
.p-breadcrumbs {
display:none
}</xf:css>

The first widget is the featured thread slider which you can get here: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/xd-featured-threads-slider.6411/
The second widget is custom made with the content you want in it.
When you are creating the page node, in the URL portion type Home and in the Navigation Section type Home then when you are ready to test it change the Index page route in the Basic Board Information to pages/home/.
