The facts and figures component is great for displaying your achievements on the homepage.

Additionally, the homepage is a great place to display upcoming events and important news. The RCCL offers many [news and events related components](https://rccldemo.rutgers.edu/rccl-user-guide/components#tab=panel-5) on the Alternative Home content type.

If your website has impressive video media, the RCCL homepage can display it using several components, including Featured Videos, User Choice Vertical Tabs, Enhanced 50/50, and more.

When you're done building your page, give one final preview before committing and saving your changes. Always write good revision notes before saving so you can easily reference previous page versions.
