Simply question really, I was just wondering how I would go about making a splash screen load before the site itself then linking (from the splash screen) to the site.

Either you just make a normal html page which redirects you to your ezpublish site, or you create for example a new section and override the pagelayout template for that section.

Or create a new node spash, set is as your root page (site.ini) and override the template for that node (based on the nodeid).

This being said, splash screens hurt the visitor experience, piss off the regular visitor, is bad for your referencing and is just a bad thing.
