HOME PAGE

HOME PAGE

1) For a Web user, the home page is the first Web page that is displayed after 

starting a Web browser like Netscape's Navigator or Microsoft's Internet Explorer. 

The browser is usually preset so that the home page is the first page of the 

browser manufacturer. However, you can set it to open to any Web site. For 

example, you can specify that "http://www.yahoo.com" or "http://whatis.com" be 

your home page. You can also specify that there be no home page (a blank 

space will be displayed) in which case you choose the first page from your 

bookmark list or enter a Web address.

2) For a Web site developer, a home page is the first page presented when a 

user selects a site or presence on the World Wide Web. The usual address for a 

Web site is the home page address, although you can enter the address 

(Uniform Resource Locator) of any page and have that page sent to you.
