Like, have you been on the internet? Have you seen how much people LOVE to scroll??? We will scroll, like, FOREVER.

@alisynthesis I've built a lot of websites & it's been a long time since I first advised against putting important info right at the top because people are so quick to start scrolling that they miss it

@jwcph haha, indeed! Personally, I always assume whatever is at the top is CTA crap and I try to scroll past it as quickly as possible.

@alisynthesis @jwcph I'd tell people with brick and mortar businesses that 90% of the traffic to their websites was people looking for their address or phone number and the first thing they were going to do was scroll to the bottom of the page for it, so they were getting a footer on every single page.
