Not that I don't agree this is a good idea and would be better (and 
assuming you don't already have an automated process that does all 
this for you), you can easily have your own generic default page that 
you use for each new account, and then in my case, since I log in via 
FTP as the new main account user anyway (just to confirm that it 
works before turning it over to the client), you can quickly upload 
your default page. Just takes a second, and you don't have to bother 
with changing ownerships or permissions since you're already logged 
in as the main user.
