Changing the home page

[Will]

Where's the problem exactly ?
Index is default landing page. If you want to have other content on it, then copy->paste from other page.
Otherwise you have to forward incoming user to other pages.
Sicne GS uses mod rewrite:
DirectoryIndex default_page.extension reserve_page.extension
or do a 301 redirect

Thanks, I was really hoping not to have to resort to cutting and pasting as I am using custom sub-menu navigation, meaning that I would not only have to cut-and-paste the home page with it's replacement, but all the dozen or so sub-pages under each as well! Obviously I could have planned for this if my client had not been so adamant she would not need to alter the site structure a few months ago!
