If you think > either of these violates WCAG 2, I'd really like to hear how and why. This sounds to me like more of a general usability issue rather than a specific accessibility one (as overly long pages will likely affect all users, not just specifically users with disabilities, though it may make their experience far more tedious). And no, there doesn't seem to be anything specific in WCAG 2.0 on this matter. It's difficult to say what length a page should be..."as long as it needs to be" is possibly the only advice I could give. If this was part of an audit, I'd add it as a general remark about usability. Sorry, not very helpful I guess... P -- Patrick H.
