I don't understand how to access the home page for my site

Depends on the theme you are using. And/or how you have set up your home page – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Settings_Reading_Screen

i still dont understand. if it’s static and i made changes within the site why are the changes not showing up on the front page?

Please post a link to your site – as is, I have no idea either since I have no info about your site.

Without wishing to suggest you ignore WPyogi’s advice (not a good idea), you might find some help in this page:
