I'm working on a website on a Fmylife style.
Now the homepage is the page showing the list of the latest posts. But I think there is a problem with that: The most "interesting" page is the one showing the top posts of the last days, but that page has very few visits compared to the main page. I suppose that's only because the main page is the "default" one.
So, I've been thinking of making a home page that shows no posts (only one at the top of the page) but 4 big buttons showing the visitors what are the options to browse the content.
But I'm also afraid that most users will not click any option and leave the site having seen no posts. So I don't know what to do.
Obviously I have no idea of what will be good from a usability/efficiency point of view.
Maybe a mix of the two options will be the best, but I don't know how to mix them.
Any advice or idea will be greatly appreciated.
The current home page looks like this: http://soquestion.latest.secretsapp.appspot.com/latest
The new home page would look like this: http://soquestion.latest.secretsapp.appspot.com/
