2. Your homepage tagline/intro is important
I think taglines are a great way to clarify your website for first-time visitors, which is a different beast when compared to returning visitors to your website, who might already be aware of your work and they know you from other sources.
But first time visitors, they need to create a quick first impression of your website in something like five seconds, and maybe your slideshow or just a single image won't do that properly.
So you need to spell it out in a concise tagline or some sort of introductory paragraph. And I think that would improve user experience and the results you get from your website.
