A Website’s Home Page

The main page of a website is also called its home page.

This is considered the starting point, or welcome page for the site.

This home page is usually whatever is closest to the domain name in the URL.

Start.me home page

The same is true for other sites, such asApple.com.

There are numerous pages on that website, but they’re not considered the home page.

Some websites have multiple versions of the home page to accommodate different languages or devices.

Another way is to erase everything in the address bar except for the domain name.

What this normally means is that they’ve designated a specific website or web page as their online presence.

A personal home page could be a blog, social media profile, or something else.

Next, selectGeneral, then go to the Home Page text box and enter theweb addressyou want.
