1. Include a One-Sentence Tagline
Start the page with a tagline that summarizes what the site or company does, especially if you're new or less than famous -
2. Write a Window Title with Good Visibility in Search Engines and Bookmark Lists
Begin the TITLE tag with the company name, followed by a brief description of the site. Don't start with words like "The" or "Welcome to" unless you want to be alphabetized under "T" or "W." -
4. Emphasize the Site's Top High-Priority Tasks
Your homepage should offer users a clear starting point for the main one to four tasks they'll undertake when visiting your site. -
A common violation of this guideline is to start all links with the company name, which adds little value and impairs users' ability to quickly find what they need.
-
To help users locate key items, keep a short list of recent features on the homepage, and supplement it with a link to a permanent archive of all other homepage features.
