Mobile website Now that we have travelled the entire website map, we are left with that one island that remains: the mobile website.
Yoast Tip Make sure your links are clickable on a mobile phone. We’re not just referring to your telephone number. If, for instance, your sidebar contains a list of categories, make sure one can click one link at a time, and the sidebar is not crammed with links, so clicking one is nearly impossible without zooming. There needs to be sufficient white space around that link.
Mobile menu We all know that hamburger icon, adding that as a substitute for your menu seems logical: it’s a space saver. Most menu’s drop down to the bottom, but some fold out to the left or right. The main advantage of the left menu is that you can use the entire height of the screen for the navigation, where for instance the much used TwentyTwelve theme by WordPress has this drop down menu below the logo/site name, meaning there is less vertical space to use for the menu. On the other hand, that might help you to keep your menu short and focused.
