Since you are new to Umbraco I will recommendyou to takea look atthe following resources:
First you need to make a document types, for each the different page types you have. In your case I will make a document type for your frontpage, and named it FrontPage. I can recommendyou to make a master document type, and add the common propperties, at should be inhert on all of you page types.
The documentation for document types can be found here
After that you have created a template again I can recommend to setup a master template where you collect all the markup that´s should be on all pages. E.g doctype analytics scripts and so on.
The documentation for working with templates can be found here
If you want to work with Webforms look here. if you want to work with MVC see here
I will recommendyou to takea look Umbraco.tv, there are a lots of good video materials about working with Umbraco,
Custom file as root homepage
I am merging my site with Umbraco.
For now, I need the root home page to be my own and not Umbraco's.
From what I see Umbraco uses the default.aspx file in the root.
How can I get around this?
