How to Build a Successful Homepage

[pallavi]

A site's homepage is the first page the user stumbles

upon and it gets most of the search engine's focus.

This article will summarize several important points

one should remember when constructing a homepage.

The 'ultimate' goal of a website is to sell - service,

product, incoming contact, a specific reaction - and a

homepage must summarize effectively what the site has

to offer. In layman's terms, to (positively) 'capture'

the user. A person, who wasn't able to find what he

was looking for right away, will just skip to the next

website, considering the options the web can provide.

In most cases, a webmaster is able to reach solid

conclusions by simply surfing the web and the sites of

his competitors, gaining inspiration from what other

sites have to offer in terms of ease-of-use and

accessibility
