	The [[Index Page\|index page]] is the first page one sees when visiting the website, and displays [[Index Page Messages\|recent updates]], merchandise~~, Tweets from [[@StrongBadActual]]~~, and a link to a randomly selected [[Main Pages\|Main Page]] (of which there are currently 27). The Main Pages, which are the main menus of the site, split homestarrunner.com into six main categories: [[Toons]], [[Games]], [[Characters]], [[Downloads]], [[Store]], and [[Email]]. A few of these categories host subcategories such as [[Strong Bad Email]] and [[Teen Girl Squad]]. The Main Pages also link to the [[Museum]], the [[Weeklies]], [[Main Page Messages\|recent site updates]], the toon [[First Time Here?]], and the rest of the Main Pages.

	Outside of the frame, the rest of the screen is simply black, with a round border around the Flash files. Some toons use this black space to their advantage, such as the Strong Bad Email [[virus]], in which [[Strong Bad]] runs outside the frame, or [[flashback]], when Strong Bad [[Widescreen\|extends the boundaries]] of the screen to reveal [[Homestar Runner]], who says he's usually "behind the black". Below the frame is the [[Site Components\|navigation bar]], which has small links to various sections of the site, functioning as a more condensed version of the Main Pages on almost every page. Most toons have previous/next buttons above the navigation bar, indexed by toon category. There are other [[Site Components\|site components]] as well, embedded into Flash files so that they are rarely accessed on their own.

	The site is navigated mainly via [[Flash]] menus, currently emulated through [[Ruffle]] as of the [[Post-Flash Site Update\|post-Flash site update]] on December 31, 2020. Many of these menus have a specific theme or gimmick, such as the [[TV Time Toons Menu]], which is listed on a ''[[TV Guide]]''-like [[Periodicals\|magazine]], and the Downloads menu, which looks like an [[ATM]]. Most menus have an interactive aspect to them. The Main Pages, for instance, have certain events that play when the cursor hovers over each button, and the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]] takes the form of a vertical [[scrolling shooter]] video game.

The Main Pages, for instance, have certain events that play when the cursor hovers over each button, and the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]] takes the form of a vertical [[scrolling shooter]] video game.

	One unique aspect of the website is the abundance of [[Easter eggs]]. For example, clicking the last digit of the copyright date on any of the Main Pages takes one to the [[Homsar Main Page]], and clicking "Eject" on the VHS player and clicking the "Homsar" tape on the [[Character Videos]] page will play [[Homsar's Character Video]]. The majority of these Easter eggs can be found in toons. Some of them require clicking on something while the toon is playing, but most of them can only be found once the toon has ended. Sometimes the clickable area will change when the cursor is hovered over it to indicate an Easter egg, such as the red letter "D" turning yellow at the end of [[Hremail 7]], but usually there will be no indication of an Easter egg beyond the cursor changing. The "Tab" button on the keyboard can sometimes be pressed to locate Easter eggs~~; however, this functionality is not present in the Ruffle versions~~.

The "Tab" button on the keyboard can sometimes be pressed to locate Easter eggs.

	Another unique aspect is the loading screens. The main sections of the website generally use the same loading screen: the Homestar Runner logo hovering up and down against a white background. However, specific toons often have a more unique loading screen, usually relating to the toon itself. These loading screens occasionally [[Irregular Loading Screens\|say something besides "loading"]], such as "load", or even no text at all.		Another unique aspect is the loading screens.

	The [[Page Titles\|page titles]] are ordinarily different than the toon or menu name, and frequently contain jokes. For example, the index page has the page title "Everybody! Everybody!", which is the lyrics to the [[Everybody Everybody\|intro song]]. Since the post-Flash site update, page titles are followed by the subfolder name (if applicable), the page's actual name, and the name Homestar Runner.

	Hidden among the website are various [[Secret Pages\|secret pages]], ranging from [[Lappynapped!\|toons never added to the main list]], [[Sbemail 100 ~~fakeout~~\|pages intended to be found]], and [[Unfinished Toons\|unfinished toons]]. There have also been secret pages removed after fans found them, such as [[If I Ran the Camera]].

On the old Flash site, many of the page files (.html files) and Flash files (.swf files) for the main [[Category:Features|features]] have consistent naming conventions. For example, the page file for a [[Strong Bad Email]] is "sbemailX.html", where X is the email number, with a [[Irregular Strong Bad Email URLs|handful of exceptions]]. The same goes for [[Teen Girl Squad]] (tgsX.html), and [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]] (answerX.html).

[[Toons|Toon]] URLs, however, are less consistent. Sometimes, the page file relates to the toon. For example, [[A Jorb Well Done]] is "cantsayjob.html". Usually, the Flash file will have the same filename as the html page, but there are some exceptions. If this is not the case, the Flash file may be found by viewing the page source and reading the filename from the line that includes "<code><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="FILENAME.swf"></code>". Many URLs [[URLs that end in 2|end in the number 2]].

Since the post-Flash site update, URLs for toons consist of the file directory (such as <code>/toons/</code> or <code>/sbemails/</code>), followed by the email number (in the case of [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Emails]]) and the toon name, written in lowercase with any spaces replaced by dashes. The Flash filenames remain the same as before, and can be found in the line that includes "<code><embed id="embed" class="embed-responsive-item" src="FILENAME.swf" loop="false" menu="false" quality="high" width="750" height="545"></code>".

=== <span class="mw-headline">Mobile Browser Support</span> ===

Prior to the December 31, 2020 update, the website was not fully supported by mobile browsers, as it was made up almost entirely of Flash files. However, the site could be fully viewed on Android devices until 2012, when Flash Player support was discontinued for Android. It was suggested in [[Flash is Dead!]] that by circa February 2016, the website (or any future additions to it) would be in [[HTML5]] format. HTML5 is not only more secure, but its [[HTML5 video|video format]] is supported by some mobile browsers.

In late 2017, The Brothers Chaps started on an [https://new.homestarrunner.com/ HTML redesign] of the site. This redesign was much simpler and uses embedded YouTube videos instead of Flash content, with links to the old site, as well as links to other non-Flash content such as the Store, the [[YouTube]] channel, the HTML5 [[TROGDOR!]] game, and the @StrongBadActual Twitter account. In addition, selected toons and Strong Bad Emails could be viewed from mobile devices via official YouTube uploads, and a few toons released since 2016 had been posted on the site in embedded YouTube video format.

On December 31, 2020, the redesigned website was updated to use Ruffle instead of Flash, allowing the entirety of the site to be viewable on mobile devices for the first time since 2012. In addition, the website has received some optimizations for mobile devices in order to improve the layout of the pages.
