The size of the clickable elements is sufficient.

Touch screens brought their share of constraints. Not the least of these is being able to click with your fingers without difficulty. It turns out that international standards for accessibility of web content to people with disabilities even specify a numerical value for the minimum size of clickable elements. As in the case of contrasts, this allows us to propose a rule which is based on the existence of this numerical value.

Objectives

  • Allow the user to click on interactive elements.
  • Limit false and unnecessary manipulations.
  • Improve compatibility with mobile terminals.
  • Improve the accessibility of content for people with disabilities.

Implementation

  • Give each clickable element (buttons, links) a default size of at least 44 by 44 pixels

Control
