Checklist

Touch Target Size

All interactive elements are large enough to tap accurately on mobile.

Check

Every tappable element has a minimum 44×44px touch target. Small visual elements (icons, links) use invisible padding to meet the minimum.

Why This Matters

Fitts's Law: acquisition time grows with smaller targets. The 44px minimum is the Apple HIG and WCAG 2.5.5 recommendation — it reflects the average fingertip contact area.

How to Verify

Use browser DevTools to inspect element bounding boxes. On iOS, enable Accessibility Inspector. Check icon buttons, close buttons, and inline text links.
