Anatomy Of A Homepage — A UX Perspective (Part 1)

Designing a beautiful, crisp and effective homepage has become a significant challenge. With so many websites fighting to capture a user’s attention, good UX is the first step to having a better chance at this.

Introduction

In the modern times of the internet, homepages are no longer the starting point of a website.

People can search for the exact thing they are looking for via search engines and land on the correct page they want, totally bypassing the homepage.

Earlier, homepages were a concise presentation of the entire website and a high take-off point to its other pages.

Today, different sections of a website can have their own’ landing pages’ which are different from the homepage but end up looking like individual homepages in their own right.

This ends up making the actual homepage a bit redundant.
