Neocities.org
A general query, so anyone may answer... but when you click on a website on here or elsewhere else on the personal web, do you prefer to see a "pre-home" page of sorts saying what the site does or doesn't contain or do you prefer just getting straight to the website? asking more for curiosity's sake, i suppose :3

I do, I like it when they say if its easy to read or not because I tweak when there's a bunch of flashing colors and stuff..
I personally like the pre-home, to set expectations and to (vaguely) tell what type of content will be featured!
I think they're really cool but I never made one!
I don't really like a pre-home because it feels... antiquated, style-wise. It makes me feel like the webmaster has a certain view of the web1.0 style that I don't really vibe with. But if you care a lot about your thumbnail, you kinda need one.
i think it depends for me! i think they're really fun and helpful but sometimes i feel like they give a first impression of a site that is different from the rest of the site, if that makes sense. i removed mine because i didn't like that my pre-home page was a new visitor's first impression instead of my homepage, which i thought was a better representation of me as a webmaster. that's just my subjective view tho!!
i appreciate it if theres actually something on the site that requires a warning (flashing lights, mature topics etc) but when its there for no apparent reason im not a fan
It only really matters to me if the person puts something important in their (Like if the website contains flashing lights or heavy usage of gifs or what not) since it's pretty important to establish those things. Otherwise I do just enjoy being able to see the home page immedieately.
thank you all for all the feedback! (or so far, id still love to hear any more opinions and feedback if people want to share!!), I see them pretty often but I always get curious if it's something people prefer having on their sites or not, so what I've learned here feels super helpful, thank you
