While surfing our own website today, I realise something that is kind of obvious — we don’t have a home button! I think to myself, “why do people want to put a home link on their website?” It seems to be a requirement that you must have a home button, to the extent that in some cases, we see a home button even on the homepage itself!
Don’t we all know that to go back to the homepage, we should click on the logo? This has been a practice for quite a while. To me, it feels more logical to click on the company logo to go to the homepage; afterall, the logo is like a beacon to the home base of a company?

I have always considered the company logo on any site the best place for such links back to home.
However, we all cant be internet and tech savvy - Some people are plain technophobes and know nothing of these.
I often find it surprising that the simple working practices I conduct while using a computer many of my non-technical friends have absolutely no clue about.
And thus becomes the discussion about why our job’s are made that much harder because no one non-technial understands what we do, and ask us what we do all day on pretty web pages! (yep, you see your car? Its not just about the colour of the bodywork now is it! Get rid of me, and its like draining your car of oil then trying to drive it!)
