Comment (by transl8or):

 And how to handle that the child pages are not individually viewable, like
 @helen suggested?

 For that reason I would prefer the first mockup from @karmatosed
 (https://cldup.com/EyEYW5acwz.png) because it has more space for further
 options.

 And I am just wondering what the difference in the output is, if I have
 set the front page to display the lastest posts and have Jetpack Infinite
 Scroll installed and activated? Except that I have only (not individually
 viewable) pages now instead of posts.

 I would really like a feature or option included that allows some
 smart/anchor navigation for this long front pages, to get to a page
 section with one click, especially if this allows to add as many pages as
 someone wants. Or at least an option to add something like "Jump to the
 Top" arrow at the bottom of every section, not just at the last one.


 Also: How will the "Recent News" section (second last here:
 https://cloudup.com/iBsZ6WkEx-h) be implemented from the original Twenty
 Seventeen mocks from @melchoyce. Is this going to be a page template just
 within the theme as long as posts or a recent-posts-summary could not be
 sections?
