In our comprehensive consideration of the site's columns, link structure and the overall style, we can formally make the home page.

There is a saying: "A good beginning is half the success."

In the website design is also so, the homepage design is a website success or not the key. People tend to see the first page that has a whole feeling about your site. is not able to encourage viewers to continue to click into, whether to attract visitors to stay in the site, all by the home design of the "skill".

Therefore, the home page design and production is absolutely to pay attention to and spend the mind. Atzie's experience is: the General home page design and production accounted for the entire production time of 40%. You'd rather spend more time in the early days, so that you don't have to do all the work later, and that would be the most wasteful effort.

Here, first insert a "cover" question. Cover refers to no specific content, only put a logo click into or only a simple graphics menu of the home page.

Do you need to design a "cover page" for your site? Atzie's personal view is: no need!

Unless you are a very artistic site, or can be sure that the content is unique, you can attract visitors to further click into the site, otherwise, the cover-style home page does not give you a site to bring any benefits. We surf the internet need is fast, valuable information, if you wait for xx minutes, only show a cheap "ENTER" icon, then believe that no one will be patient wait to enter the next page.
