Infinitive Scroll or Pagination?

This Tumblr Theme has an built-in option to use an Infinitive Scroll or a standard Pagination. You can toggle this option in the ‘Edit Theme’ Sidebar to show an Infinitive Scroll with a ‘Load More’ button. 

The Infinitive Scroll option has a ‘Load More’ button to get the best UX pattern to display more posts. At Baymard Institute, they’ve conducted several year-long large-scale usability studies of more than 50+ leading (e-commerce) websites.

They tested three design patterns for loading products (read: posts), both on desktop and mobile. Pagination is still the most popular way to load new items on a website because it ships by default in almost every single platform. 

They also found that infinite scrolling (eg. how Twitter does Infinite Scrolling) can be downright harmful to usability — in particular, for search results and on mobile.

However, their usability test sessions found “Load more” buttons in combination with Infinite Scroll to be a superior implementation, resulting in a more seamless user experience. Also this way you can let your Footer shine .. 🤟

The F Pattern

UX Magazine has a short and very good article about The F Pattern – this is the pattern in which users read/engage with web pages. Point: honor this pattern and use it to your advantage. There are many reason why this will help both you and your users.

What this hints at

Put your sidebar navigations on the left side of your web page

Put key contact (and search, I would argue) in your uppermost right corner

Knock it off with the center-aligned content (flush left is a much better reading experience)

Put prioritized content to the left

I loved this

"Your readers may not know you are relying on F-pattern scanning methods, but they will feel like your content gives them what they want without them having to work too hard to get it. This expectation of layout allows your users to review your website at their own speed."
