text (english) Amount of content on the page for seniors: To compensate for the probable cognitive and movement disabilities of the elderly that may progress with age. The designers must consider making the website pages shorter than ones for general users. Elder people would rather browse through more pages on a path once set rather that comprehend pages that overwhelm them with information. The pages scrolling can be difficult for them too, so it’s another reason why shorter pages should be preferred. Finally, it’s easier to structure information on a short page in a simple way. Interface efficiency and fewer number of clicks that are generally more favored for regular users, so designers are advised to put all the relevant information on a single page.
text (russian) Количество содержания на странице для пожилых пользователей: Веб-страницы, предназначенные для чтения пожилыми пользователями, следует делать несколько короче, поскольку таким образом достигается снижение когнитивной нагрузки. К тому же, в некоторых случаях прокрутка страниц может вызывать затруднения у пожилых людей, недостаточно опытных в работе с мышью.
