Above the Fold
Above the Fold is a term borrowed from the newspaper industry to indicate that portion of a web page which is visible above the bottom of the user’s monitor. In other words, the portion of the web page which is visible without the user scrolling the page vertically. Obviously, the actual location of this line is determined by a number of factors such as the size of the monitor, the user’s preference setting for default font size, and the resolution of the screen itself.
