Change Sharepoint Team Site home page

sharepoint

I need to change the page a user gets to when navigating to a sharepoint 2007 team site. What we are trying to achieve for this teamsite is a different page layout to the default. One of the following two things would probably sort this out for me, but I can't figure out how to do either:

  1. Change the home page for a team site to a new page I created – e.g. from default.aspx to Shared%20Documents\newhome.aspx
  2. Edit the layout of default.aspx for this site only.

The team site in question hasn't been set up. We have Enterprise edition MOSS 2007, so can add whatever features will help us to the Site.

Under Site Settings -> Look and Feel, you can set the Welcome Page to be any other page within the same site (you may have to move your custom page to the Pages library instead of Shared Documents first).
