Ok, we seem to have fixed it…or created a workaround. My designer found that some crazy long string of text suddenly appeared in the design files. Whatever we define as the homepage simply will not work for some reason so she hardcoded the homepage design text (forgive me for the incorrect lingo) into the index.php page and created a separate page which appears when you click “home”. Don’t know why this is happening but it’s functional now. Thank you both for your help.
