The home page creates the most important, first impression of your website. Therefore, it must be done thoughtfully and efficiently. To make the start page of the site look exactly like this, follow some tips.
Instructions
Step 1
Think over the design. The design of the home page is sometimes different from the design of other pages. It should be more original, but not tiring. Think about what elements could be dispensed with and remove them. Make sure your website logo is prominently displayed. Be sure to take care of a competent navigation system - from the main page, the user should be able to get to any section of the site. If your resource has a lot of materials, do a site search. The user should be able to easily find the search on the page.
Step 2
Try not to place ads on the home page of the site, or limit yourself to a minimum. The site, overloaded with advertising, will want to leave immediately. But you don't want to lose users, do you? Select the most important, profitable and neat ad units - you can leave them on the home page.
Remember, too, that homepage links are the most profitable and important. Don't overload the page with links. And think a few times before exchanging links "on the face" with any resource. Is this deal important to you? Will it not go to a loss for the site, its traffic?
Step 3
Take care of filling. What to post on the home page? This can be news from your site, or just news on the topic of the resource. It will not be superfluous to make informers of other sections. Thanks to them, the visitor, having entered the main page of the site, immediately finds out which sections have been updated. In addition, some headlines can attract the user, and he will stay on your site longer.
Step 4
Also, the main page can contain basic information about the site. Try to keep it as short as possible, but more interesting. Present your resource at its best. But do not splurge - you should not describe what is not on the site. Even if in the near future you plan to create a similar one.
