# Basics
The configuration of the home page all lies in what is known as the front matter (the YAML located between the set of triple dashes `---`). To get started, specify `layout: homepage` to let Isomer be aware that it is a home page instead of a normal page. This is required for the home page to work.
The options available are:
* `title`: the title of the home page which will be visible in the browser window
* `description`: a brief writeup (<20 words) that will appear on social media such as Facebook and WhatsApp when the home page is shared
* `permalink`: the URL of the home page. In almost all cases, this value will be `/`
* `notification`: a banner that will appear in the hero banner that can display any notification you would like to show users, such as urgent updates. The content here can be written in HTML. *Optional*
* `sections`: a list of sections on the home page. Further details on the sections are covered in the next few sections. You can refer to the sample configuration for the specific syntax of the configuration
Partial sample configuration (without sections) of a home page:
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://v2.isomer.gov.sg/configurations/homepage/basics.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
