Home Page

September 23, 2019 by Mel Hawthorne

Hypertext systems like the world wide web require a specific document to be the ‘point of entry’ so to speak – the very first thing that is called in a web of documentation. Through or past that initial file, other parts of the web can be accessed. This Home Page is also sometimes referred to as welcome page or main page.

 

Technipages Explains Home Page

When a visitor navigates to a web page, the first page they are lead to is normally the home page. While it’s possible to link directly to one of the other pages that are part of a web of files and documents. Usually these pages serve as a landing page – they give an introduction, explanation of the purpose of the site, and it is also used to increase interest from visitors into the rest of the site.

A well-designed home page will contain things like internal navigation buttons, information on the purpose and/or proprietor of the business.

There is a secondary definition of home page – when first launching a browser, the initial page displayed on launch is also often referred to as a home page. This can be set to various things, such as google, another search engine or a blank white page – whatever it is, it’s called the home page of the browser.

Common Uses of Home Page

  • A home page is the page a browser shows when launching or opening a new tab.
  • Home pages serve as a point of entry to a web of files and sites.
  • A home page needs to give info on what users can find or expect on the rest of that website.

Common Misuses of Home Page

  • A home page is only required for complicated websites that have more than a few dozen pages.
