Building a home pageThis is a featured page

Great, I've got a template for my home page...now what?


Here are a few tips for making your home page useful and welcoming.

1. Describe what your site is all about

For example, you might write about:
  • Why you created the site
  • Who the site is for
  • What they can expect to find on the site


2. Add a photos that show what the site is about

3. Encourage others to participate

Include text that encourages others to participate in the site by:
  • Contributing their own content by clicking EasyEdit
  • Adding new pages to help make the site grow
  • Adding photos to help tell a story


4. Give 'em a reason to keep coming back

Consider changing your home page from time to time to give users a reason to continue visiting.
  • Have a picture or topic of the week
  • Add links to the latest related news stories
  • Run a contest

See wetpaint.com for examples of other sites' home pages.

That's all there is to it -- have fun!
