This is something I’ve always wanted to hear and what’s more important – to see proven. Having done quite some webpages, I’ve always tried to put things in one page (especially if it’s something for a company or such, didn’t care that much for my personal page) thinking that people don’t really care to scroll.

Nowadays, scrolling has become a natural practice in surfing the web. Scrolling is also associated with web 2.0 design because big, clear text and “spacious”, “clean” content implies longer web pages.

In the last few days while studying stuff about web services, I’ve had to surf around the net quite a lot. And I must say, that a lot of the pages I’ve seen have been the kind where I have to scroll. As for the everyday internet users who don’t have to look through that many tutorials, they wouldn’t even have to scroll that much. It’s just a matter of what you’re looking for in the page. Besides, people tend to get more and more experienced in reading the websites by going in, finding the info they need and leave the unnecessary things unread.

So, all-in-all, I think it’s great news for me and in the times to come, when there’s enough important information that has to be on the website that I’m making, I won’t be so worried about the scrolling part anymore :)
