Frequently Asked Questions
What should be above the fold on my homepage?
A clear headline that explains what you do, a compelling call to action, and enough visual context to make visitors want to keep scrolling. Don't try to cram everything in — focus on the most important message.
Does above the fold still matter with scrolling?
Yes. While people are used to scrolling, the content they see first sets the tone and determines whether they continue. If the initial impression isn't engaging, many visitors will leave without scrolling further.
Where is the fold on mobile?
It varies by device, but roughly the first 500-600 pixels of visible content. On mobile, screen space is limited so every pixel above the fold needs to work hard. A clear headline and prominent call to action are essential.
