First of all, you have to create a new page and select “Portfolio” from page attributes list on page editor. Then from the page settings, you can assign static page as homepage. If you select portfolio page as homepage like demo, then you have to assign a new page as blog section.

So it is upto you to display blog, portfolio or any other page as homepage. The product page says that homepage has parallax banner section which shows large image with intro title and custom link. You can use banner section to introduce your business in creative way.

The good-thing about Ridge Theme is flexibility, which makes it easier to display anything on main homepage area. Now if we talk on header and navigation part then it has excellent unique layout. Instead of putting heder on top area, it shows header panel on the left side of the screen. The floating style makes your header visible any-time when you scroll over the page.

The header shrink-down to small size and shift to the top of the page when you access website from small screen devices. So mobile users will see header on the top area in auto-resized mode, having menu button and logo. Header includes space to include logo, menu bar, and custom widgets. So administrators can put-in brand logo, menu with drop-down links, and widgets like social links, banner, custom text etc.
