Personal home page feature is very handy feature for various tasks, i.e. web design. Here is how to enable it (assuming you have Apache and YaST installed):

YaST->Network Services->HTTP Service->Modules->Edit->Userdir->Toggle Status on

YaST->System->/etc/sysconfig Editor->Network->WWW->Apache2->APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES-> set to /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf and press Finish.

Do not forget to restart Apache with (as root): 

# rcapache2 restart

Now you can place your web pages and files into /home/your_user_name/public_html and access them http://host_name/~your_user_name
