Hello,
Is there any standard (official or otherwise) that limits the length
of single web pages?
I edit an online journal which contains articles of up to 7000 words.
Currently each article resides on a single web page which the viewer
must scroll to read. Some of the articles are 10-20 'screens' in length.
If anyone could clarify whether there is a standard and, if so, how
such documents should be presented, I would be grateful. If you want
to look at the journal I'm talking about see www.baileyandireland.com.
I wouldn't change a thing. You could split the articles into x-number of pages with page links at the bottom, but text loads very
quickly and unless you limit a page to a single paragraph or two, people are invariably going to need to scroll so you may as well
have the entire article on the page. Makes printing easy, too.
