A Collection of Creative Homepages - mameara

Startups and small businesses face an uphill struggle when theyre trying to compete. Because theyre not well known, when they get a visitor to their site, they need to do all they can to get them to stick around and check out their product or service. Larger businesses can easily afford a higher bounce rate, but for startups first impressions count.

This means that its not just enough to have a great product you need a great homepage to get people to check it out. It needs to show off the product well, succinctly and beautifully. Think about how Apple show off their new products on their site. Thats the level of detail, care and attention that needs to go into a startups homepage too.

When youre designing a homepage for a small business or startups product, every part of it should entice the visitor to keep reading or to take a particular action, such as signing up or trying the demo. The headline should be succinct, be straight to the point and potentially be a bit of a teaser to encourage the visitor to read further. The copy should be compelling, use short sentences and be straight to the point but descriptive. The imagery and visuals should be aesthetically pleasing, should (where possible) show off the product and the typography should be thoughtfully crafted so that its easy to read, and follows a natural flow.

Weve brought together a collection of creative homepages, interesting and thoughtfully designed homepages that all do a great job of encouraging the visitor to stay and check out the product. We hope you find the collection a source of inspiration for your next design project.
