Is there an alternative to scrolling?
Modal slideshow. It’s not often we recommend using modals (we debated whether to pop-up or not here, in fact), but a modal slideshow can be a valid alternative to infinite scroll.

What’s the best way to scroll on a website?
Rather than have the entire page scroll, a fixed long-scrolling configuration keeps some content static while other content scrolls.

This is great for sites that don’t want to convert to a single page due to SEO concerns.

Which is the best site for long scrolling?
Social media sites, with constant and extensive user-generated content, do well with long scrolling (in fact, Facebook and Twitter helped popularize the technique years ago).
