Parts of and Content for the “Home” Page
Posted: April 09, 2009 » by Web Mason » in Content; Tips and Support
The home page serves as an overall snapshot of your company. It is the “elevator speech” for your business and for the rest of the web site. The home page should give visitors an outline of the many aspects of the company and direct them to other areas of the site for more detailed information.
The home page must entice users into visiting other parts of the site. You can do this with clever wording or by featuring a special promotion, the next event on the company calendar, the newest satisfied customer, etc.
The home page should appeal to users who have and who have not visited before. It serves as both a landing and exit page. It should provide easy navigation for your site and be easy to find later on. It should also contain basic contact information (or links to more in-depth contact information).
