# index

The `index` template handles the rendering of the landing page of the store. It is usually the first page a customer sees, and must therefore provide a large selection of customization options allowing sellers to customize their stores and create unique first impressions and user experiences.

## Location

The `index` template is located in the `templates` directory of the theme.

```bash
└── theme
    ├── layout
    ├── templates
    │   ...
    │   ├── index.json
    │   ...
    ...
```
