Simple entryway enclosures include a basic 36x80" aluminum door and frame.  They usually start cheap for a no frill design and go up from there.  Theres many options to a front entryway design that can personalize it and add style to the house:

This Screen door has a painted dolphin figurine and kickplate on the bottom.  Kickplate can be used fully to the sides of the door if reuqeted

1) Custom doors: the standard 36x80" door usually included with a basic front entryway is no frills and is the same as the door on your pool enclosure.  Upgraded screen door options usually cost $400 plus and features, designs, scrolls, or figurines.

2) Sun burst: a sunburst is an elegant hoop with spokes that goes above the screen door.  Great for arch entryways.

3) Sidelites: these ornamental metal pieces go around on the sides of the enclosure.  Usually they are just decorative but they can double for security when designed properly.

4) Kickplate: Solid metal piece that can be used around the bottom perimeter to keep out the dirt.  Also very useful if you have pets that tend to damage the screen.
