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.
