Re: Front Page nav question
I think the way you have it with the one way arrow might work. But my firm belief is the harder you make for your visitor to figure out what she/he is supposed to do the easier you make it for him/her to go elsewhere.
Is the one way sign a coded message e.g. religious? Or is there a specific reason for the sign that his visitors will understand?
If the one way is not justified, perhaps a simple invitation, C'mon In.

Bill, I would time the page to jump to the real deal after your animation finishes. That leaves not doubt of where to go.

Bill, simplest is put the front page first as 'index' and you main site page as 'splash'. In the the Splash page head put <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url='index.htm(l)'" /> and Preview. The Splash page will display for 5 second then automatically jump to the index page. The (l) depends if you publish .htm or .html.
The advantage is those who save the website URL without a page bypass the Splash altogether.
You could set the whole graphic to also have a jump Link to index to short-circuit the process.
It might be better to set up the index page with a Splash pop-up that appears on load and closes on X click.
Here too, you could make the whole Splash have a Close Link.
The advantage is the index page content is loading behind the scenes (sort of).
I would go further and set up LocalStorage to only show the Splash a limited number of times.
Add a Hide the Splash button to also control this.
You could add a Splash it! button on index to reset this.

I'll just leave this here.

Mobile is no problem, but desktop and tablet page height is a problem. Thx
