Asking to see if this is possible

[siran]

If I correctly undestand your requirement you could
move the Home page to the middle,
rename it "home",
rename the about page (now the first page) to "index",
adjust the menu to show "About" for the first page
and add a little script that forces the Home page to be opened when visited.
See example (created in Designer Pro X12).
Code is placed at the website head.
