Feb 27, 2020 at 11:53 comment added Mast If the client explicitly asks for it, it's a good idea to deliver what he asks unless you get them sold on a better idea. "Allowing it" isn't applicable.
Feb 27, 2020 at 10:14 comment added Mathijs Segers This is actually pretty common, you see it often on pages like you described. For people who know what they want, they can hit the button on the top of the page, if not read some description and maybe apply after reading (without the scrolling)
Feb 27, 2020 at 9:02 comment added Jonathan A lot of paged-list navigation pages has their buttons (next/prev/etc) in the top and bottom of the list as well.

Feb 27, 2020 at 7:52 comment added bracco23 As an example of this, application for an indian visa have a multi-page form where each page has control buttons both at top and bottom. Useful in this case because pages tend to be long and not always you are interested in their full content (form might be already filled) so you can just use the top to go forward, or use the bottom one if you scrolled to see the content.

Feb 26, 2020 at 23:04 comment added Michael Lai Is the client's view/opinion relevant? What would the users think? I think it depends on the particular use case and context but a screen shot or mockup would be helpful.

Feb 26, 2020 at 20:24 comment added ph33nyx I would say it's not the best practice if both are visible at the same time. Perhaps having one button in a fixed position (so that it does not scroll) is a better solution to having that option visible at all times.

Feb 26, 2020 at 19:25 comment added MetalMikester I echo Paran0a's sentiment: It very much depends on the interface. I've seen this done correctly and also incorrectly.
Feb 26, 2020 at 18:34 comment added Paran0a Extremely difficult to tell if we don't see how your user interface looks. It could be that its perfectly fine and sensible, but it could also be that its wrong.
