# index

> The index template of a Shoplazza Theme renders the store home page at the root URL, a merchant's first impression page. See what to include in it.

The `index` template renders the home page of the store, located at the root URL (`/`). The home page often serves as a customer's first impression of a merchant's store, so the `index` template should include versatile options for merchants to tell their stories.

## Location

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

```text title="Directory"
└── theme
    ├── layout
    ├── templates
    |   ...
    |   ├── index.liquid
    |   ...
    ...
```
