Hello,
I would like to create a personal website and I would like to greet the visitor with the following text:

"Hello. Nice to Meet You!"

It will be a heading to be more precise and the largest one that will appear when the visitors enters the page.
The dictionary gives the following definitions for "Nice to meet you:

An expression said just after being introduced to someone.
A polite phrase used when meeting someone for the first time.

The problem is that I never met the user before and I didn't give out my name.
I'm wondering what is your opinion in this case. if "Hello. Nice to Meet You!" can be used as a caption in the online medium.
Maybe usage rules aren't as strict for online usage?

How about Nice of you to drop by?
 
"Great to have you here!"
 
What's wrong with Welcome?
