Overview
Homepage – Business Overview
The Homepage document is used to design and manage the main landing page that users see when they access the Dafater portal. From a business perspective, it acts as the digital front door of your organization, shaping first impressions and guiding users to the most important information, services, and actions.
Purpose in Business Operations
The Homepage is used to:
- Present key messages, announcements, or branding to customers, employees, or partners
- Highlight important services, links, or next steps users should take
- Improve user engagement by organizing content in a clear and intuitive way
- Support self-service by directing users to relevant areas without manual assistance
It ensures that users immediately understand who you are, what you offer, and what they can do on the portal.
Prerequisites and Setup Requirements
Before using the Homepage, the business should ensure: - The portal structure is already defined (for example, what services, pages, or actions users can access) - Business branding elements such as logos, colors, and messaging are agreed upon - Content owners are identified to maintain and update homepage information - The target audience is clear (customers, employees, vendors, or mixed users)
This preparation helps ensure the Homepage supports real business goals rather than just displaying generic content.
Typical Workflow and Business Fit
