Hi there, I found a very interessting article concerning a topic which alway chatches me: http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/blasting-the-myth-of What do you think about that? Is this really up-to-date or is webpage-design no more bound to any rules? DO you believe in clear structures or do you prefer no boundaries concerning web-design?
Very interesting article, and on some of my own content sites (Tourism/local news) I notice the same results, people are happy to scroll and will still click thru to stories, and one of the external RSS feeds at the bottom of the page gets a fair number of outbound clicks, suggesting to me that experienced Internet users know that there is more information below the fold, and it doesn't bother them - great news I guess.
'The Fold' hasn't been a real issue for several years now (indeed, the article linked was written back in 2007). I suspect a large part of this is a result of blogs taking off. In any case UI/UX experts these days all pretty much agree that having content and navigation 'below the fold' is no longer a problem.
