Hi,
maybe it is usefully to enable "Template" Debug from the Backend and in the frontPage you can see wihch default template are you using from the ezwebin. The same .tpl structure can you add in your extension path.
This is generally the way to overrwite the default template to write your own .tpl file: e.g:
extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/pagelayout.tpl (default template)
extension/YOU_EXTENSION/design/YOUR_DESIGN_FROM_SITE.INI/templates/pagelayout.tpl (your own pagelayout).
maybe this will help you

in this case i will try to add new object(Node) in the content structure in Backend and in the siteaccess site.ini i will add something like this:
[SiteSettings]
IndexPage=content/view/full/167
DefaultPage=content/view/full/167
In this example 167 is the Node Id as default/front page.
sure you can specify a new class as front page to customize the welcome website

To have a bit more "content" in your frontpage than you have, take these steps:
0. reset IndexPage, DefaultPage to their initial settings
1. decide which class you want to use for your homepage. Frontpage is a good candidate if you use ezflow, or just create a "homepage" class with the attributes you want
2. create one node of the type you want for the homepage
3. click on the current homepage node in the nav tree in the admin interface. In the popup menu choose Advanced | Swap. Navigate until you find your newly created content, and select it.
4. If this has worked, your new content object is at the top of the content tree (it has become the homepage), the previous homepage has moved. You can then proceed to delete it.
