Are The Best Parts Of Your Site ‘Below The Fold’?

Click To Enlarge The Image

Have you ever worried about what portions of your site are not immediately visible to the average user? If not, then perhaps its time to start! Unfortunately you can’t rely on every visitor having one of those gorgeous 24” Widescreen monitors (mores the pity).

One new tool to help web designers check what areas of the site is visible to all users has just been launched by Google.

Google Browser Size allows site designers to see their website with an overlay projected on top. This overlay is a series of areas denoting the percentage of users than can see that part of the page without scrolling. If your essential site element is not receiving the clicks you were expecting and Browser Size labels it as being in a low percentage area then perhaps it’s time for a mild redesign!

More information about Google Browser Size can be found on the Google Code Blog.
