Web Site View - Above The Fold

When you read the title you may think of folded piece of paper and in fact that is a good way to look at the phrase.

When someone comes into your website, what they can initially see is considered "Above the Fold". The content they see when they scroll down is considered "Below the Fold". "The Fold" will vary depending on screen resolution so do have a look at the most used, which are:
1. 1024 X 768 (over 50%)2. 800 X 600 (close to 20%)2. 1280 X 1024 (close to 15%)

The most important headings, content and links should always be above the fold.

Remember, you have about 10-30 seconds to grab your visitors attention. So keep in mind that the most valuable real estate you have on your web page is "Above the Fold". If you do this well, you will hold your visitors longer and they are more likely to look further down on your page and through your website.
