Accessibility and SEO Best Practices
Mobile Optimization and Responsive Design
Mobile-friendliness is both an accessibility and SEO priority. Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning it predominantly uses the mobile version of your site for indexing and ranking. Ensuring that your site is responsive and works well on all screen sizes is critical.
Best Practices for Mobile Optimization:
- Use responsive design with media queries to adapt your layout to different screen sizes
@media (max-width: 600px) { .container { flex-direction: column; } } - Ensure that buttons and links are large enough and have sufficient spacing for users with motor impairments.
- Test your site using Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test to ensure it meets mobile standards.
