When the Entry Page module in WS5 Evo is active, it completely distorts my sites design. When disabled there is no problem.See the attached screen grabs. Is there a simple solution to this problem

Mike, try doing a full upload.
Locally do a ctrl+preview, then full upload (not new and changed).
Hello.Clear your browser’s cache.I see the start page here http://redesdaleresidents.org/index.php
I see the main page here http://redesdaleresidents.org/index.html and here http://redesdaleresidents.org/home.html. This could be a problem.I see the main page at these two addresses and both seem normal to me.
(It > En) ... the current site is correctly related to the page index.html(HOME) ...
...!... in the web site must be deleted from the ROOT, via the FTP panel [X], the index.php and home.html pages...!...

Thank you all for your assistance. Being a novice can I assume the 'Entry Page' is the same as a landing page. As suggested, I have carried out a full upload with the 'Entry Page' widget being used, and site gets messed up. In local preview all works fine meaning, site loads at Entry/Landing page, after 4 seconds it links to home page successfully. The faulty site is now live, perhaps moderator could have a look again and advise a solution. Thank you

I forgot to mention, it is only the home page that gets messed up...
http://redesdaleresidents.org/ , http://redesdaleresidents.org/index.html- Yes, I see that there is a problem.
http://redesdaleresidents.org/home.html - and here I see that there is no problem.
http://redesdaleresidents.org/index.php - and here I also do not see a problem.
Try setting up redirection with from http://redesdaleresidents.org/index.html to http://redesdaleresidents.org/index.php
Redirect 301 /index.html http://mt-example.com/http://redesdaleresidents.org/index.php
Does adding this line to the .htaccess file solve the problem?
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
This came from Paul's solution here:
