    Actually, this is a chance to talk about the TOTAL difference between an actual user-session looking at a website vs a "demo session" on a video projector to a room full of meeting staff and client people...

    In an actual user session, content that goes THROUGH the "fold" is a GREAT IDEA, as it encourages user to interact and SCROLL, going forward,getting farther into your idea, openening up to being persuaded,etc...

    In a man-person meeting "demo session" where everything is projected on a 1024x768 projector, nobody scrolls because if they did, somebody would complain about not having taken in all the stuff at the top,etc... so everyone looks at it in a way UNLIKE they actually do in real life.... especially as very few of us still have 1024x768 monitors, most are smaller or bigger,etc...

    • IN a many-person meeting, not man-person meeting.. typo

    • well, in that case.. if you are designing for jumbo trons 3ft tall and 20ft wide, it matters too, but I would call it "safe area" more than foldMiguex
    • not "fold"Miguex
