Homepage is the term used to describe the main entry point to a web site.
For example, MSOE has a web site and its homepage contains an array of links to other information. Think of a homepage as the table of contents for a particular site. In addition to a homepage giving you access to information at a site, it may contain other homepages, each giving you further access to information. The elegance of the Internet is that you can access this information without concern for compatibility. HTML helps insure compatibility between otherwise incompatible systems.
