What if you named your homepage home.html or something else and then just linked to it from all pages with the 'Home' button or link. Would it matter that your home page was not named index.html?
On one of my very first sites, home.html was the default name for the home page. I'm not sure if it makes a difference in Google what you name your home page. I rarely work with static html sites anymore, but if it were me, I'd just stick with the index.html extension, just in case it's a big deal.On one of my very first sites, home.html was the default name for the home page.

Hello Caitlin,
At first, Home page means what first the user see when enters the site & index.html is the page which loads first when site is loaded. So you should use home page as index.html.Hello Caitlin,

On one site, I had an index.html and index.htm page. They were two distinct pages, not even related. Only one led to the home page when people clicked through from Google Search.On one site, I had an index.html and index.htm page. They were two distinct pages, not even related.
