Phones are the way most human visitors will see your website.
Access Planning:
- SEO Search Engine and AI robot scripts
- Adaptive User Technology, screen readers
- Mobile Phones <-- AIM HERE
- Desktop/Tablets
- API Endpoint, IOT & other applications
Takeaways:
- Start with the mobile menu structure and work outwards.
- Menu items should be descriptive yet short, not boring.
- No more than six items. Keep the site menu short.
- Use the Footer area for less important "requirement" links and legal information.
"Policy links may be needed, but they're boring content and not part of our story."
Example A:
Google search results show a well-planned site structure.

Protip:

Each site section on the menu should have a descriptive text opener.
