Take Paper’s landing page. Pure gorgeous design. It invites you to explore it. You get the impression that they are highly professional, up-to-date, and a premium brand. Most importantly, their landing page video, combined with a brief amount of text, tells you exactly what they are about in less than a minute.

My favorite thing about the site is that its principles can be used by anyone in any industry. I get that not every company is equipped to create a beautiful website with stunning parallax elements and graphics. But Paper’s formula is very simple:

Lead with a video that previews their product, providing a basic understanding without going into all the technical details. Now that I’m intrigued, I want to know more.
Outline the product’s specs. I still don’t know everything, but a 30-second read clarifies a lot.
Give a specific call to action. Throughout the page, I’m able to download the app directly or dive deeper to get the information I need.
Entice your audience. Make a statement about who you are. And be quick. You’d never pitch your product without a good handshake, right?

A homepage needs to be narrowly focused -- speaking to the right people in their language. The best homepages avoid "corporate gobbledygook," and eliminate the fluff.
When a visitor arrives on your homepage, it needs to compel them to stick around. The homepage is the best place to nail your value proposition so that prospects choose to stay on your website and not navigate to your competitors.

A good design with easy navigation and informative content makes a good homepage for your website. Linking your internal webpages from the homepage also helps to redirect traffic and make your website more popular in search engines.

A homepage should have detailed about your services, your previous customer testimonials, logos of earlier clients, a simple and attractive banner, call to action, contact information, and it must be responsive. It will create trust in your users and increase your sales. A video on homepage will also be useful to attract and engage

If you're a well-known brand or company (i.e. Coca Cola) you may be able to get away with not having to describe who you are and what you do; but the reality is, most businesses still need to answer these questions so that each visitor knows they are in the "right place." Steven Krugg sums it up best in his best-selling book, Don't Make Me Think: If visitors can't identify what it is you do within seconds, they won't stick around long.

In terms of the design factor of a home page it should be visually appealing. It should have best colours that aren't very hard on the eye that persons have to strain to see it, very bright colors will do this often and should be avoided at all costs. There is nothing more intense than having to stress your eyes to see a site. The textual content should be laid out perfectly and should be a good size for people to see.
