Webpage Size:

i. Minimize Page Length:

1. Keep it Short and Sweet:
   • Try to fit your webpage content into two or three screens of information.
2. Important Stuff on Top (Above the Fold):
   • Put critical information at the very top of the page, visible as soon as the page loads.
   • This is known as “above the fold,” meaning it’s within the top 4 inches of the page.

Scrolling and Paging:

ii. Scrolling vs. Paging:

1. Paging – Like Turning Pages in a Book:
   • Old-school method: present a full screen of information, user does something, then move to the next screen.
   • Keeps things neat and organized.
2. Scrolling – Like a Telescope or Microscope:
   • Telescope Method:
     • Imagine the window (your view) moving around the content, like a telescope scanning stars.
   • More natural, fewer errors.
   • Microscope Method:
     • Content seems to move under a fixed window, like looking at something under a microscope.
     • Less common because it can be less intuitive.
3. Why We Scroll Up for More:
   • When you click the up arrow, it’s like moving the telescope upwards.
   • The data isn’t physically moving; it’s your viewing window that’s shifting.
