Now it's time for our index.php.
The index.php is our "home page." We need to tell wordpress that this our our front page (home page). We do that with a comment tag:
/*
Template Name: Front Page
*/
and... by going to the DASHBOARD and...by going to Settings, then Reading.

You will need the images for the flex-slider and logo!
