HomePage of a WordPress Website

The homepage of a WordPress website is an introductory or main page. When a user enters your website by entering the domain name then this page appears.

If you have a business website then you should provide essential information to users about your business in an efficient way so that they can go to the other pages of your website.

WordPress displays blog posts by default on the homepage. If you have a business website then blog posts are not a good way to show on your business website.
