Navigation back to home page

Is there an easier way for visitors to my website to go back to the home page when on another page and using a mobile device? On the iPad and desktop versions, they can simply click HOME in my navigation bar. But because the mobile version uses the hamburger, it is not as obvious how to navigate back to the homepage. Do most people know instinctively to go to the hamburger or is there a better way to do it?

Typically, the logo in the header of pretty well every modern website links back to the site's home page and most people know that clicking/touching the logo whether on desktop or mobile will return them to the home page (by default, the built-in logo feature in Weebly sites links back to the home page). Alternatively, you could add a home button to each page that is only visible on mobile screens. You'd use the free "Hide" app from the Weebly App Center with your home button. The Hide app is here:

You could also add breadcrumb navigation directly to the page (there's a paid app in the Weebly App Center for that: https://www.weebly.com/app-center/breadcrumb?ref=ac-search) but breadcrumbs can be a bit of a clumsy presentation particularly on mobile.

But, honestly, I think most people know about the home page logo link and I'd stick with that. Anything else just clutters up your site pages unnecessarily.

Is there a "Go To:" that I can use to have my customers navigate easily? I'm building my page. Thanks.
