Home page is an organisation's face as many would have quoted and should have the most important information or let me stress once again MOST IMPORTANT information and not all the information. The home page needs to strike a blance between showing the range of information and simplifying the content to ensure that the majority of customers can easily embark on the most common tasks.
We all have guidelines and standards, however some of the things that you could keep in mind while making a wacky and impressive home page:
- Clearly focused user's tasks
- Too much content in your site - provide a search
- Provide CLEAR and visible navigation
- Make sure the Navigation is ordered logically or in a task oriented manner
- Navigation should match your design of the home page. Too much of jazz in your navigation is mistaken for advertisements.
- Useful and most important information should be available form the home page in a click
- Make sure your link in the home page have the most important keywords in the begining
So go ahead, get CREATIVE with your home page designs and keep these few pointers while you design your website.
