To create a "Welcome Intro" that will be displayed on your sites index page when a user first visits you can do this direct from your AdminCP. The process we are about to go over actually allows you to place data in 10 different areas on your site, however we will go over how to add data to the sites index page at the top of the content area.

To do this log into your AdminCP and navigate to:

CMS >> Blocks >> Add New Block

For the field:

Type

Select:

HTML Code

For the next field:

Controller

Select

-- core.index-visitor

For the field:

Placement

Select

Block 2

Next, we have:

PHP/HTML Code (Optional) 

Here you can add a message to your visitors. This can also include HTML.

Once you have completed adding your message, submit the form. You have now successfully added a new block to your site. However, the block by default will be located at the bottom of the content page because it is the newest block that was added. To change the order of the block, which in this case we want to move the block all the way to the top and in order for you to do this you will need to navigate to:

AdminCP >> CMS >> Blocks >> Manage Blocks

From the list click on:

core.index-visitor

Then under the group:

Block 2

you should find at the bottom:

HTML Code

Using the drag icon located to the left of the table and drag this block to the top of the list above:

user::register 

Now this block will be located at the top of the content page.
