How to Change Your Front Page in Drupal

By default, the main page of Drupal 8 is set up to perform much like the front page of a blog. It displays excerpts of nodes that have been promoted and allows the visitor to click on them to view the entire node. However, you may wish to have a custom static page on your site instead. This article will guide you through the process of changing the front page of your Drupal 8 website.

You can replace that with the name of the node you want to display as the front page. In our case, we have an article node named intro that we wish to display.
