Your home page and indeed every page should contain an e-mail link. Do not use images as e-mail links. Images slow down your page. Plus quite often a visitor does even notice a graphical e-mail link, because they are so used to looking for a text link. Headlines When people read newspapers they look at the headline of an article before deciding whether to read.
Web Sites are the same.
Make links to other pages using catchy titles, make them curious. Text Text on your home page should be sentences, not paragraphs. 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.
