-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.
- 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. |
