New Startscreen

[pdattx]

To put a new idea in the current version, I have something on my mind and maybe you're able to help or give better ideas.
I thought about the searchfield in the right corner. It is a little useless, if you use a smartphone. But otherwise a lot of people want to search directly. But on the same level they want to decide which version they use and maybe they only want to read direclty in a book. - So if I mix all these reasons/wishes of visitors together, wouldn't it be the best to present a startpage instead of a prechoosen bible and verse?
That startpage could be loaded in every new tab and could be linked from the logo. Also it guides the new visitor directly, because it could contain:
1.) a searchfield - maybe the field of the right corner - only more beautiful (maybe like qwant.com ?)
2.) below of it a horizontal line of all bible-versions - one directly bordered, because it's the defaultone
3.) below of that the books of the OT grouped in a TAB or so, a swipe would show the NT on the same area. Important there are the square buttons with the different bookcolors to make it pressable directly through the smartphone

What do you think about such an idea? Do you have any skills to implement such a thing?

What makes it better with a startpage?
1.) The autofocus on the searchfield is the same way like the click in the searchfield. You have only to click on the logo and you can type what you're searching for. If you already have one window with it open you can reuse it and mark the old searchword, so that you can type directly.
2.) You don't take any decision for the visitors, because you even don't know what they want. The visitor come to the page and can directly search of click the book he is searching for.
3.) You have the perfect place where you can put something like a daily verse or something like that.
IMHO: I think these are 3 good reasons for such a change.
