What is a splash page?
A splash page is a page that introduces any page on your website and works as a welcome screen before visitors reaches your homepage. This intro page doesn’t provide a ton of information. It is a perfect opportunity to set the mood and tone for the rest of your website or you can give her another purpose, such as, promote a new offer, show a disclaimer… A splash page is mostly used by designers in order to capture viewers attention before they get into the actual portfolio, although, it can be also used by companies from different kinds of markets.
Different from the splash page, a landing page is a simple one-page website that attends one purpose: generate leads, gather subscribers, bring more customers and viewers. The homepage is the main page of your website and usually includes your logo, a brief description of what your business is (though images, videos, and text) and a menu bar to navigate to the rest of your pages.

Emaze Splash Page Advantages
There a heated discussion of whether to create or not an intro page. Some think that is great, others think it’s not too effective and will break viewers attention. By incorporating an intro page, you’re presenting to your visitors another step they have to complete before truly reaching what you want them to see. It could be seen as redundant or just plain annoying. So, before you decide on creating one, make sure the purpose behind it is well-thought-out.
You would rather create a splash page to:
-Give your visitors a chance to select the language they can view the website
-Share an alert that the main website has sound enabled, so they can receive the full experience when they turn on speakers.
-Describe any kind of important information like if they need to download something to access the homepage our tell them how long it would take to load the website
Emaze would like to end reminding that splash pages are no longer just flashy screens, that people open and then close. They are pages that at any point have some valuable information or action for the visitors. Emaze is a cloud-based HTML5 content creation software, which enables users to create professionally designed digital content that is 100% customizable. On Emaze you can create your intro page from scratch or simply use any skin from thousands of designs we have.
