INSIGHT 02
YOUR HOMEPAGE IS YOUR RECEPTION DESK.
Imagine walking into a business and not knowing who works there, what the business does, or where to go. A homepage can create that same uncertainty when its message is unclear.
The insight
Your homepage does not need to tell your entire business story at once. It needs to welcome visitors, explain what you do, help the right people recognise that they are in the right place, and guide them towards useful information or an action.
Three ways to welcome visitors
- Say what you do in clear, everyday language.
- Help visitors find their route with understandable navigation and useful page links.
- Offer a clear next step without forcing every visitor into the same action.
A good reception desk does not overwhelm people with information. It helps them feel oriented. Your homepage should do the same.
