Pick your default Layout
Choose if your site is a Blog or Website and setup WP to do this
By default, WordPress is installed as a blog site. This means that your Home Page will display your blog posts. If you are building a regular website, you may not want the Home Page to contain any blog posts. Simply reassign the Home Page from a blog page to a regular page. If you still want to have a blog, you can easily move it to somewhere other than the Home Page. First, we will need create a separate "Home" page and "Blog" page.
From your WordPress Administration Panel:
- Select the "Pages" panel, then "Add New"
- Title this page "Home" (or whatever you want)
- For now you can keep this page's template set at "Default Template"
- Click "Publish"
Repeat these steps a second time to make your Blog page, only this time title your page "Blog"
Now that you've created a separate Home page & Blog page, You need to need to tell WordPress to treat each page as such.
From your WordPress Administration Panel:

- Under "Front page displays," select "A static page"
- Assign "Front page:" to "Home" & "Posts page:" to "Blog"
