Magento Template
There are a lot of ways to add a new template to Magento. Adding a CMS Page Template in Magento, however, is a pretty simple process. Using the following configuration on your /app/etc/local.xml file in the “global” section will add a template to your CMS Page Design tab:
<cms>
<layouts>
<redirect>
<label>Homepage Template</label>
<template>page/home.phtml</template>
</redirect>
</layouts>
</cms>
