Rather than just show products on your home page, you can override the default behaviour and display your featured collections there instead. Each of the links can also display a slideshow of the first 5 products in your collection, or can display the image you have specified for that collection in the “Collections” section of your store’s Toolbox.
To add a list of featured collections to your home page, follow the instructions below.

- Go to the "Store menus" tab in your store's Toolbox
- Click the "Add a new menu item" button in the top right of your screen, and create a menu called "Home page".
- Your new empty menu should appear at the bottom of the page. Click the "Add new Menu Item" link in your new menu.
- In the "Name of new Menu Item:" field, enter the text that you want to appear for this image.
