its depend on  the business you create the website for  but generally  you have to give a main menu  or shortcut menu and in the middle you have to put the main control that  explain the core business  like if you create booking site you have to put search engine  or if you create for industry company you can put animated banner or something to describe the work like small dashboard   and at the bottom  you must put the footer  and its contains the copy write , menu for you not showing in the main menu like service , about us m FAQ  and sometimes  subscribe field 

• Home – Although on most website’s clicking the logo takes you to the home page, many users still get lost if you don’t have a “Home” link.
• About – Information about your or your company
• Products or Services – With calls to action
• Pricing or plans ( if not included on product pages
• Contact – Clear information on how to contact you. Don’t just use a form.
• Who you are
• What you do
• Location or Service area (if applicable)
• How to get in touch with you immediately (phone number is best)
• Hours of operation

It's important to place the appropriate logo given by the owner of the website so that the visitors can easily recognise the website they wanted to visit by its logo. Secondly Menus are important for navigation and making sure that clear fonts formatting and colours are used so that people with short sight are able to read the site content. Multimedia content are also useful on index page so that the visitors would not feel bored of reading only the articles. A website that have multiple visitors from different countries might need a language option to help many visitors. Footer element is quite necessary for adding important info like the copyright © info, company policy and so on.

Thank you for inviting me to participate in this discussion.

Here is my view in homepage design

1. Should include logo in a visible space in page, which acts as the brand identity.

2. The navigation should be user friendly.

3. SEO friendly contents

4. High quality relevant images

5. Should contain valid contact information
