Home page

A home page or index page is the initial or main web page of a website. It is sometimes also called the front page (by analogy with newspapers) or main page, or written as "homepage."

Purpose

A home page is generally the first page a visitor navigating to a website from a search engine will see, and may also serve as a landing page to attract the attention of visitors. The home page is used to facilitate navigation to other pages on the site, by providing links to important and recent articles and pages, and possibly a search box. For example, a news website may present the headlines and first paragraphs of top stories, with links to the full articles, in a dynamic web page that reflects the popularity and recentness of stories.

A website may have multiple home pages, although most have one.Wikipedia, for example, has a home page at wikipedia.org, as well as language-specific homepages, such as en.wikipedia.org and de.wikipedia.org.

Website structure

The majority of websites have a home page with underlying content pages, although some websites contain only a single page.
