The homepage (home page) designated as the main point of entry of a Web site (or main page) or the starting
point when a browser first connects to the Internet.
Typically, it welcomes you and introduces the purpose of the site, or the organization sponsoring
it, and then provides links to other pages within the site.
It is the page that will usually have a web address that ends with .com, .edu, .org, .gov or .cc
(the 2 letter code for the country outside the USA).
The actual filename, in the above scenarios, is index.html.
Users can create their own homepages that may be subsidiary to the above, and therefore use a
subdirectory, but using index.html as the filename is still better (otherwise viewers can see the
files in your directory by typing that filename with the file path).
While the homepage is designed to be the entry point to a web site, designers cannot assume that
all viewers will enter the web site by that page.
It is important to consider all pages as potential entry points, and design all pages to market
the site online and for easy navigation to find the homepage.
