what sets the site to open on the index page?

Hi

I have completed the opening How to Make a Website course and everything is working great,

when i open the site in the preview it opens on the index page.

what part of the code determines what page opens first?

I would like to create an opening page which appears once when the site is launched then the user can navigate away using the existing li elements on the top right

Petter, much servers, if fact almost all of them, sets the Index page as the default page. If you want to change it in a fast way you just need to rename your index page to "portfolio", for example, and then create your own index page. Don't forget to make corrections on your nav menu. ;)
