    F5 wasn't designed to host web pages, although it can host a some static pages that can be used as a sorry page when no servers are available/active.

    in short, your will have to create a (or multiple) node (s) which would be the ip address(es) of the server(s) and you can apply default monitor on this/these node(s). Then you will have to create a pool and add all the nodes in this pool. you can apply http/https monitor on it. Create a virtual server which would be the landing ip for all the requests coming from the user. You can call the pool in virtual server. if your site is https then you would have to create client and server side ssl profiles. These are just some of the basic steps which you will have to take.
