The front page of a newspaper contains the most important stories that will attract the attention and interest of readers. The stories are typically accompanied by eye-catching headlines, and sometimes photographs, and often tease other important or exciting news that may be included elsewhere in the paper.
Similarly, on a website, a homepage is the first page a user sees when they visit a particular site, and it is used to promote the main stories that are being featured. It may also be used to showcase new products, tease other stories, or provide other relevant information for the viewer.
Frontpage was a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor created by Microsoft for creating Web pages and web sites. It was available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite from 1997 until 2006. The product was superseded by Microsoft Expression Web and SharePoint Designer, both of which were released after FrontPage.
In addition to the front-page material, it is also common for e-books to have a back-page where they can give readers a preview of other material that they may enjoy. This can be a great way to entice readers to continue to purchase your products.
In the case of Backpage, it is alleged that the company facilitated sex trafficking and that it failed to notify its users of the criminality of the activity they were engaged in. Backpage has argued that the charges are without merit and that the evidence is not valid.
