When you watch the videos, you’ll see that if I scroll the page while it’s loading, the auto focus script triggers when the page loads and it takes me to the top.

Auto focusing is usual right? Helping users accessing to the search. But the problem here is, I actually don’t need help. Because I’m on a search results page, which I came to check out results not to do a search again.

Where it is useful is, the homepage. Because on the homepage the most important element for these two sites is the search.

The thing we couldn’t understand is not everyone can use & understand computers like we do. It’s just like we cannot know or understand everything about life, cooking, fishing, relations, history…

So, reaching this site. There are two ways:

• Go to the big white box at the top and type erenemre.com, hit enter.
• Go to Google (or medium white box at the top right) search for eren emre. First result is this site.

Ps. World wide web is not for just dummies, it’s for all of us. And our job is to achieve this.

But now, we live in Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome or Opera… Now we know that there is something below the fold.

Again: but now, designers started to think that forget the fold, put all the content into the page’s different areas; top, down, left, right… This is kind of true but I feel like some forget that the fold is still important.

By this I mean, the fold is your “shop window”. It’s the first thing that your visitors will see. Yes, they may scroll down but if only you encourage them. So the most important elements of your site, must be above the fold. That can be your call to action, your big fancy promotional area or the copy that explains something very important.

Roger Johansson, Milissa Tarquini & Joe Leech have really good points and detailed information about the fold.

And finally: People don’t scroll… emails!

Did you hear this quote ( ^ ) from your client? Or as a client, did you say something like this? Then go read this article:

Collectively, the teams reported 340 usability problems. However, only nine of these problems were reported by more than half of the teams. And a total of 205 problems—60% of all the findings reported—were identified only once. Of the 340 usability problems identified, 61 problems were classifed as “serious” or “critical” problems.
