Mobile Safari zooms the page automatically when a focused input has a font size under 16 pixels — it is deliberate behavior intended to make small text readable, and it catches designers who set inputs at 14 pixels for looks. Set form fields to at least 16 pixels and the zoom stops. Two related quirks are worth checking at the same time: date and time inputs render as native pickers on one platform and plain boxes on another, and a fixed-position element can jump when the on-screen keyboard opens. Test on a real handset of each type, not just a narrowed browser window.

They almost certainly have colors hard-coded in their own styles rather than referencing the site's variables. Once one component writes a literal white background, no theme switch can reach it. Move every color into CSS custom properties defined once at the root, redefine those under the dark condition, and have components reference the variables exclusively. Then sweep the stylesheet for literal hex values, which is where the stragglers hide. Also set the theme-color meta tag per scheme so the browser chrome on a phone matches, otherwise the bar above the page stays the wrong shade.

The translations probably have no crawlable address of their own. Plugins that swap text in the browser, or serve languages off a query parameter that is not indexed, leave search engines with a single page in one language. Each language needs a real, stable URL — a /es/ path or an equivalent — with the translated text present in the HTML at load. Then pair the versions with hreflang annotations that point both ways and include a self-reference. Machine translation alone is also a weak foundation for a childcare business; the pages parents read most deserve a human pass.

Far less than that. Most small business sites need two weights of one family — a regular and a bold — which in woff2 is usually well under 100 kilobytes. Half a megabyte means italics, multiple weights, and probably a second decorative family nobody notices, plus character ranges the site will never render. Subset to the Latin range, drop unused weights, and let the browser synthesize the rare italic. If the design genuinely needs several weights, a variable font delivers the whole range in one file. Preload only the faces used above the fold; preloading everything just moves the delay earlier.

Usually both size and position. The close control is often an icon drawn at 16 pixels with no padding, giving a target well under the roughly 44-pixel minimum a thumb needs, and it is placed in the top corner, which is the hardest part of a large phone screen to reach one-handed. Give it real padding so the tappable area is generous even if the glyph stays small, and consider putting it within thumb range or allowing a tap anywhere outside the menu to dismiss it. Also make sure the underlying page cannot be tapped through while the menu is open.

By requiring a single point of decision before the first mockup is presented. Everyone can contribute notes, but one named person consolidates them into one document and signs off — otherwise the design gets pulled in three directions and every round costs money without converging. It also helps to agree upfront what feedback is being asked for at each stage: structure at the wireframe, look and feel at the mockup, and only corrections after that. Reopening the layout during build is the expensive move, and a written sign-off at each stage is what makes that boundary enforceable rather than awkward.
