Scroll vs Click
Observing a general, and I'd say, smart, trend: Long scrollable homepages that provide more information as you scroll, rather requiring a click. Good examples are codeclub, the collaborativefund and kickstarter.Â
This differs from homepages like foursquare and skillshare, where the user has to click to view more info.
Scrolling will probably feel overwhelming if the design isn't clean, and if the homepage is too long, but done well, it's probably a better way to get users to actually view the info you want to share with them.Â
