+title: Home templates
+description: The home page of a website is often formatted differently than the other pages. For this reason, Hugo makes it easy for you to define your new site's home page as a unique template.

+
+The home template is the *only* required template for building a site and therefore useful when bootstrapping a new site and template. It is also the only required template if you are developing a single-page website.

+## Home template lookup order
+
+See [Template Lookup](/templates/lookup-order/).
+
+## Add content and front matter to the home page
+
+The home page accepts content and front matter from an `_index.md` file. This file should live at the root of your `content` folder (i.e., `content/_index.md`). You can then add body copy and metadata to your home page the way you would any other content file.
+
+See the home template below or [Content Organization][contentorg] for more information on the role of `_index.md` in adding content and front matter to list pages.
+
+## Example home template
+
+{{< code file=layouts/_default/home.html >}}
+{{ define "main" }}
+  <main aria-role="main">
+    <header class="home-page-header">
+      <h1>{{ .Title }}</h1>
+      {{ with .Params.subtitle }}
+        <span class="subtitle">{{ . }}</span>
+      {{ end }}
+    </header>
+    <div class="home-page-content">
+      <!-- Note that the content for index.html, as a sort of list page, will pull from content/_index.md -->
+      {{ .Content }}
+    </div>
+    <div>
+      {{ range first 10 .Site.RegularPages }}
+        {{ .Render "summary" }}
+      {{ end }}
+    </div>
+  </main>
+{{ end }}
+{{< /code >}}
