In Chapter 2, you have learned that the site variable Forcelogin can be used to force users to log in to your site. If this is set to Yes, all users see the Login Page as soon as they hit your learning site.

The Login Page does not present much of a welcome for prospective students. It is not a very good sales tool for your site. If you want to welcome prospective students with more information about your learning site, consider using the Front Page, or a page of your own design as the welcome page to your site.
