Why should I move the welcome text on my homepage above the gallery thumbnails?

The word ‘welcome’ and your introductory text should be the first thing visitors see when they arrive at your site—it’s a basic organizational principle. Having gallery thumbnails appear before your welcome message doesn’t make logical sense from a user experience perspective. The welcome message sets context, introduces who you are, and prepares visitors for what they’re about to see. Place it at the top, then follow with your gallery thumbnails. This small organizational tweak improves the flow and professionalism of your site.
