When Your Homepage Is Useless

Quick thought today. There’s a lot of sites out there, ones that I visit regularly, that I don’t think I ever hit the home page. When Google tells us where to go, and bookmarks take us back there, is the homepage really what it used to be? What do you think?

  • I think this concept depends what you are talking about. It might make sense for a blog but for a business or college homepage I still think you need that traditional page especially for "new" visitors.
  • I absolutely agree. People are much more likely to enter your site on a peripheral page through a Google search. The homepage of a blog is usually similar to every other page on the site, except with the most recent content. I think to maximize user experience, it should be easy for the viewer to access any page on the site from any random page that they land on.
