The simpler way is to go to settings->reading and make a page the index rather than the “last x posts”.

Thanks for your answer but that is something I cannot do, because my design is in the homepage is different.
Any other way perhaps?
Thanks

Different how? You can style a page differently, also one page. Look here. The index is just another WP page.

My index php is diffrent then the page.php, so that will not work 🙁
Here’s what you can do…
You can modify index.php and remove the loop that generates blog posts. I personally wouldn’t recommend going that route only because the purpose of the index.php file is to display posts.
So the way to go around that is to make a *copy* of index.php and rename it to page-homepage.php (or whatever you desire). Set the homepage to that file (see fonglh’s post above), and strip out the loop code. Voila.
There may be better methods out there…

Erik, did you look at my example? That index is just a WP page, but I assigned a template to it with no sidebars, no header, footer and a hardcoded image. It’s relatively easy to do. You can make any page look completely different from other pages.
