Pro Tip

Remembering the word

'Startseite' combines 'Start' (start) and 'Seite' (page), so it literally means 'start page.' Think of it as the 'starting point' of a website.

Gold Rule

Capitalization

In German, all nouns are capitalized, so 'Startseite' is always written with a capital 'S'.

Word Origin

Compound of 'Start' (from English 'start') and 'Seite' (page), first attested in the late 20th century with the rise of the internet.

Usage Notes

'Startseite' is the standard term in German for a website's main page, similar to 'homepage' in English. It is capitalized as it is a noun in German.
