Homepage template / queries
Maybe it feels over the top, cause you could simplify your small request to something like this:

{% for page in craft.entries.section('about').all() %}
&lt;h1&gt;{{ page.title }}&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;{{ page.summary }}&lt;/p&gt;
{% endfor %}


Or, if you just want to get the title and the summary of that one single - you could archieve this via:

{% set aboutPage = craft.entries.section('about').one() %}
&lt;h1&gt;{{ aboutPage.title }}&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;{{ aboutPage.summary }}&lt;/p&gt;
