Piano-scrooooooooooooooooooool Where the page is loooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg on the vertical. As the visitor scrolls down the page, very soon any information about "where" they are is lost, out of sight. All they see is the screen-segment of the current content. The site "ID" is lost, out-of-sight.
In your site example at http://goo.gl/B2riT, in the iPad in landscape mode, the displayed screen seems complete, there is no "indicator" that there is more below. Remember that the iPad doesn't have scroll bars, vertical or horizontal. So in landscape view I may think that I'm seeing it all but in fact there is more below the bottom and more critically there is part of the Nav menu below the bottom. When I rotate to portrait view I see the full Nav menu and the screen also "looks complete" BUT again you have content below the bottom that I may not find unless I drag my finger to scroll the screen. Try to design for "full screen content" with nothing hiding below the bottom. Where this isn't possible, try to use an indicator, a clue to the viewer, that there is more below. For example a paragraph of text can extend below bottom and the visitor will naturally scroll as he/she reads it. But when the layout of your content is such that in a static view, the opening, default, position, the screen has an "its all there" view your visitor may not realize there is more below to scroll for. Hope this helps.
