What you put in the top of your front page has a huge impact on the success or failure of your website. Put the wrong thing in, and you’ll probably see your visitors quickly navigating away from your site. Put the right content there and you may see your sales go up.
This article isn’t an all-in-one guide for creating above the fold content, nor is about an all-encompassing rule on what you should put in. Rather, I will give you a few tips, recommendations and a little bit of helpful research about this topic.
Kafin ka shiga kai tsaye, yana da kyau ka fara sanin abin da ake kira ɓangaren sama na babban shafinka. Akwai suna mafi kyau a kansa fiye da kiran sa ɓangaren-sama-na-shafinka.

Ana kiran sa Above the Fold. Me ya sa? Domin a farkon lokutan da mutane ke da waɗannan abubuwa da ake kira jaridu, an saba ninke su biyu ne domin ɓangaren sama kaɗai ya zama abin gani nan take.

Binciken Nielsen
Earlier I said that your above the fold content may make or break your site. Nielsen Normal Group has written a few research articles about this across the years. I’ll quote the summary of their article The Fold Manifesto: Why the Page Fold Still Matters
The average difference in how users treat info above vs. below the fold is 84%.
If you just got confused about the wording of the quote, I did too at the start. Let me clarify: That study doesn’t mean that 84% of people do not scroll down, on the other hand I’ve seen other research say that most people do scroll down to the bottom of the page. It also doesn’t mean that the lower part isn’t important. Instead it means that the behavior of your visitors in your site is largely impacted by your content above the fold.

Here’re a few examples of what you can do about your front page.
Add a background image. A large background image behind your large statement is a great eye-catcher and can further encourage visitor engagement. For new book author, maybe adding a background image illustrating the setting of his free ebook would entice people more.
Add an introduction video. Admit it, people can be lazy, especially when it comes to reading. So if your site is a bit complicated, it might be a good idea to add a short video that introduces your site/product quickly. For the wedding organizer, then this can be a video of their latest wedding. Or for our site for example, we can add in a quick intro about the features of our plugin.
Add a video background. This is a bit of a trend nowadays, but I find it appealing at times. If this suits your taste, then this might be a good idea.. I know PayPal had a video background before in their site. For the small hotel, you can put in a stationary video of a scenic area of your hotel as the backdrop.
