Sense: noun/1
Homepage, landing page, and front page all refer to an initial or main page, but they differ in domain and specificity. Homepage is the standard term for the main entry page of a website — it is what users expect when they type a domain name. Landing page is a marketing term for any page a visitor first arrives at, often designed for a specific campaign; it may be the homepage but often is not. Front page belongs to print and news media — a newspaper's front page or a magazine's cover — and sounds old-fashioned when applied to websites. For example: 'The company redesigned its homepage last month' sounds natural, but 'Please visit our front page' would confuse most web users.
Homepage is a compound word formed from home (Old English hām, 'dwelling place') and page (from Latin pagina, 'a sheet of writing'). The term entered English in the mid-1990s alongside the public launch of the World Wide Web, originally referring to the personal start page of an individual or organisation on the internet.
