When a [**URL**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95261/how-do-index-all-the-urls-which-i-have-submitted-to-google-webmaster) is loaded, the first page that visitors see is this one. Webmasters can direct the user experience by controlling the home page.
- The website's root directory contains the home pages. Many home pages serve as a virtual directory for a website, providing top-level menus from which users can go deeper into the site's many sections. A typical website's homepage, for example, includes menu items such as 'about,' 'contact,' 'products,' 'services,' 'press,' and 'news.'
- Furthermore, the home page frequently serves to orient visitors by giving titles, headlines, and images and visuals that demonstrate what the website is about, as well as who owns and maintains it in some circumstances.
