As far as I can tell, it's mandatory to have a Single as the site index.
I always use a Structure for organising my pages, and different entry types for different page templates. I intend to use a nav tag to output the menu. However, this time my site nav looks like this:
Homepage (site.com/)
Subpage 1 (site.com/subpage-1)
Subpage 2 (site.com/subpage-2)
Subpage 3 (site.com/subpage-3)
About (site.com/about/)
Subpage 4 (site.com/about/subpage-4)
Subpage 5 (site.com/about/subpage-5)
Services (site.com/services/)
Subpage 6 (site.com/services/subpage-6)
Subpage 7 (site.com/services/subpage-7)
If I have to use a Single as the home page, how do I put subpages under the home page?
Previously I've used the nav tag, and just hardcoded a link to the home page before the rest of the li's, but that's not going to work this time as the homepage has subpages.
EDIT: I've updated my sitemap to include a URL structure, which is the real challenge here.
