Creating a Cover Page Workaround in version 7.1

Site URL: https://appliedanthroposophy.org

Hey there,

       I have a new site in 7.1 and am looking to recreate what used to be offered as a "Cover Page", a basic landing page without the top or bottom navigation used by the rest of the site.  I assume I'm not the only one asking for this!?  Customer service just told me that custom code is the only work around.  Has anyone found a solution for this?

7.1 folks are making cover pages by creating a blank page and then hiding the header and the footer. Instructions are here for 7.0 and 7.1

Thanks!
