The home page should be used as an index of your site. It definitely should not contain any of your content. Deeper into your site you should have text but make sure it does not waffle. Especially in the first paragraph. Keep the number of words on each line to a maximum of 15.
People find it difficult to read text with long lines.
You will notice that in most magazines an A4 page generally has two columns of text, now you know why. Don't be afraid to have some open space on your pages. Do not try and clump everything close together. Your visitors should not have to make more than 20 clicks on the scroll bar to scroll down your page. The bpwebmaster site uses sub home pages or sections.
