Make a Homepage

Yola lets you easily build and host the professional website you always wanted.

 

In order to make a homepage work, one needs to understand that this is usually the first point of contact you will have with your users and then leads them to their desired location within your site. A website is a fantastic way to advertise yourself or your business - and your homepage is the starting point.

Before you Make a Homepage - Apply Human Thinking

Whether you are engaging in traditional advertising or online advertising, it is essential to analyse your efforts from the point of view of the visitor or consumer. This is not as easy as it sounds because the web is so vast, so a decision must be made on who to target and how.

Don't make a homepage for your enterprise the same way you would make one for yourself or your client. Focus solely on its role as a functional, usable and accessible tool for the visitor.

It is also essential when you make a homepage that you don't just make as many grandiose statements about your enterprise as you can. A homepage is something that shouldn't be designed to meet its parent organisation's needs - it should be designed to meet the visitor's needs.

If a visitor can't grasp the essentials of your site in a few seconds, then your homepage layout needs an overhaul and could benefit from the following tips:

• Use the correct amount of white space.
• Provide the user with a focal point for the page.
• Make a homepage that leaves out design elements that are too general, too specific or just plain unnecessary.
• Ensure that all your content is relevant.
