Rearranging my menu, dropping the “Home” link

April 16, 2014 by Peter Warwick-Mahoney

I’m beginning the process of moving my menu around, which includes dropping a few pages, adding a couple more, and essentially trying to drive visitors towards the products I’m most interested in selling.

As part of the process I’ve dropped my “Welcome” link, which went back to the homepage. Users can still return there by clicking the main site title—but I’m interested to see what happens if I “squeeze” my menu to just the most important bits.

What’s the point of having a link back to the home page anyway? In my case it’s an overview, and I want people to get to the nitty-gritty, and become clients.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

    I did the same, really reduced down the number of pages on my website and dropped home amongst others.

    As you say, I want people to read more about me, not my home page!

    I think clicking on the logo is standard to get back home anyway

I have over 2000 5-star feedback reviews (and I’ve never received less than the full five.)

Here’s just one example, from Mike who runs Costello Entertainments:

Migration, Hosting, SEO and Speed Work on our new website all completed quickly and efficiently and Peter was most helpful in fixing an issue with a Popover on the site as well. If you’re thinking about asking Peter to do a job for you or hesitating, JUST DO IT! – He knows programming and the internet inside out, he’ll get the job done for you professionally, with a smile. I wish I could call a plumber or a tradesman to do the jobs I can’t do myself with the same level of confidence.
