How do I design my homepage from scratch using Muffin Builder?

So I've done the basic Layout and Header settings per this http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/documentation/#header

Now I want to start building out the different components of my homepage:
- Add slider
- Add a bunch of icon boxes for my services
- Add testimonials 

And so on...

How do I use Muffin Builder to build out the HOMEpage, step by step, component by component? 

I get that I can build other pages using http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/documentation/#pages. But how do I build out my homepage first?

Also, regarding the header:
#1  How do I get rid of the header image? I want just the header without any image in it.
#2  How do I get the menu to show in the same line as the logo, instead of below the image? I chose the "Classic" header layout in which the menu should be in the same line as the logo.

Thanks,
Zeenat

    Hi,

    you probably should start from Muffin Builder tool. Just create page and use muffin builder tool which is under "Page options" section.

    #1 "Header | Minimalist" option in Theme options > Layout > Header section.

    #2 Please activate your website because at this moment we can't have a look on it.

    #1 Fixed, thanks
    #2 Figured out what was wrong here - fixed it. Using the Transparent header now.


    Now on the homepage, so I'm starting from scratch:

    Step #1  I started with a Blank page
    Pages > Add New > Set the Template="Blank"

    Step #2 I set the layout and menu to the defaults
    Page Options > Set Custom Layout ="Theme Options" > Set Custom Menu = "Default"

    But after saving & publishing, no header or menu shows up. What do I need to do, to make them show?

    Also, I tried adding a slider I created in Revolution Slider. Opened Muffin Builder > Add Section > Add Item > but there's no Rev Slider option here. There are other sliders, but not this one. How do I add it using Muffin Builder?

    Unfortunately it is not possible to show menu or footer on pages based on "Blank". This is the sense of "Blank" template and it shows only content created within builder/shortcode.

    Ok, so what template should I be using or what should I do to get rid of this grey section at the bottom that says "Archives", "Comments", "Categories?

    It seems to be added by default when selecting the "Default Template". I just don't want it on any of my pages.  I just can't figure out how to get rid of it.


    Image - the section I want to remove

    Image - the template setting when creating the page, that causes this section to show up by default.

    Those are widgets. For that please go to Appearance > Widgets section and remove widgets from footer section. More info about that you can also read on http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/documentation/#footer-widgets
