A landing page is the first page that a visitor of your website will see. Hence, you want to make sure it has the right vibe and contains the right information. As in books, the cover can be set differently than its content.

In Jupyter Book you have the option to:

• create sections using blocks

• hide table of contents

• add a custom footer.
