It's often theme dependent. I'd recommend first setting your home page, either as a fixed page or a blog roll in Settings > Reading. Then click on Appearance > Menu and add the pages to the menu. Switch to the Install tab within Menus and see where you can locate a menu(s) within a theme. You can also create additional Menus and add them elsewhere, ie. a Footer Menu for say your Privacy Policy and use a Custom Menu widget to add it to the footer area in Appearance > Widgets. :) Rich.

Your "home" page should give readers a sense of what your site is about. Who do you want to serve? What are their needs? What results are they looking for? How can you help them get what they want? What is it that your site offers that they can't find elsewhere? What is your unique point of view?
While your home page should not focus on selling, it should be centered on creating interest and moving your visitors to "peek inside".. Give them a few bullet points on what topics they can expect you to cover. Does that help?
Start by asking yourself questions based upon what your audience wants and needs. Write down three to six good questions and develop your content from those questions.
