People are Hunters

                     List out the questions a visitor might ask. Answer/lead
                     them properly on your home page.

                     Keep paragraph text to a minimum until they are on a
                     page that converts them from hunter to info gatherer.

                     Make it easy to get back to the home page. They
                     may want to hunt again ... but only if it’s easy.
