We have had it suggested to us that the maximum number of pages that we
should have in an item on our website is the equivalent of ten A4 sheets
the explanation is:
The reason 10 pages is important is accessibility. As I understand it,
for someone using software to convert text into spoken language, 10
printed pages is the maximum length practicable for the reader. Beyond
that length, the reader has to wait too long before coming to the
applicable text.
Has anyone any views?
Tony
