Guidelines to follow when designing for mobile
- Make sure your website is responsive. This means it should change its shape and presentation based on the device it is being viewed on, so it works equally well on a phone, laptop or tablet.
- Ensure text is large enough to read on a mobile without being zoomed into and scrolled in two dimensions. Users must also be able to pinch-to-zoom on a mobile.
- Make sure interactive components, like buttons and menus, are large enough and far enough apart. This ensures disabled people can easily click or tap on the right element.
