If you have website, you would probably meet the word home, I am not referring to the people where they settle but the homepage of your website. My question to you now is do you think your homepage is effective in attracting visitors to view all the contents of your site? If you said yes, then well done but you may consider to read my tips for your future use or reference. To those who might think that their homepage does not entertain much more visitors then you are reading the right article for it. I may share to you some of knowledge I acquire in previous struggle to make my homepage entertains visitors and also to make them feel comfortable in which I must earn trust.
I may compare the homepage with two things, the newspapers’ front pages and the books’ covers. Many people would rather look at the front page of the newspaper first before they read its contents and if they are interested to its contents then they will be eager to spend some money just to read the contents of their newspaper.
In the case of a book, people nowadays are looking at the cover of the book and judge it once. People will always be lazy scanning some books without any good covers which may end up throwing it to the trashcan. But once they enjoyed looking at its cover then they will be attracted and grab a curious mind of them to look what this cover is telling them inside its contents.
You may follow some of the tips I will give you, once you have done all of this then you will have an attractive homepage reflecting your personality.

· The newspapers’ front page contains headlines of all the contents of the newspaper. So as a webmaster you may put some of the headlines of your site at homepage, because visitors will always viewing the homepage so lead them inside the contents. Be wise, put some of your articles inside the homepage and tell them that there are some more if they will click it. Be creative and logical and it will be very effective.
