We are using language variants as when the project was specified it seemed like the content and structure would be largely the same.
The client now wants to roll out a new homepage design. However we can't organise 8 markets to get their new content together for a syncronised launch so ideally we would have some markets on the old template and some on the new template.
As far as i can tell this is not possible? On a sub-level i'd just create some languages in one template and others in another but there can only be one homepage.
Any ideas how to resolve this? Maybe redirect markets to "/home" until they are all synced?

You could try route hijacking the homepage, depending on which culture you could return a different view for them? An article on route hijacking here: https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Reference/Routing/custom-controllers
Then it gives you the freedom of having completely different views for every language (if need be... let's hope it doesn't get to that!)
is working on a reply...
