The homepage is one page that is the most important page of the website. Whenever a visitor enters your website the first thing he comes across is your website homepage. It indicates the entrance to your site. Even if a visitor stumbles upon a subpage first, there is a chance that he will go to the homepage before leaving the website.
A homepage is one thing that creates a long lasting impression on the visitors; this is the reason that web designers concentrate more on the layout of the homepage that any other page of the website. Even Google while crawling, enters the homepage first and then the rest of the pages whose links are given on the homepage.
A homepage should be designed in such a way that it attracts the visitors and encourages them to take a tour through your website. The homepage should contain a brief description about your business and about the site. The content that you add should be fresh and innovative. Greet your visitors in an attractive way. You can include images or even flash to make the homepage more eye-catching. But do not make use of a lot of flash, as it increases your page load time. If yours is an e-commerce site, then you can also display your products on the homepage for the visitors to know about your offerings.
Always remember to keep your homepage up-to-date. This gives the visitors a reason to re-visit. The links in the homepage should be displayed in a clear manner and should not be confusing at all.
