Doesn't anyone pay attention to what's "above the fold" anymore? I mean, I know browser window sizes differ, but I don't even see the headline on a 1213x683 window.
For years, digital designers' aversion for whitespace prevented any kind of visually pleasing rhythm. Today, web sites feature so much whitespace that it prevents... yeah, any kind of visually pleasing rhythm. I call that irony.
It appears that they didn't take into account the very common wide-yet-short laptop screen format in their 'responsive' design process.
Scrolling is the new shit, they said.
You don’t have to believe in “the fold” for the Web to know that the title should be near the top.
