Generate the main home page in a subfolder instead of the base URL?

I am afraid you must either link your theme here or ask the theme developer.

There are two ways a theme might create a homepage and only knowing how this is done we can help you.

  1. with lots of config and maybe some content in data/homepage.yml or similar files.
  2. with content/_index.md.

If it’s 2, you move that file to content/about/index.md, and that part is done. If it’s 1, you must move that whole configuration into a markdown file, or your theme’s developer will have a switch that moves things around.
