Hello Everyone,

I wanted to know what order most of you were putting the elements of your website in the source code.

Visually, website typically follow:

Header

Navigation

Content

Footer

However, I've found that having the content first is better for both accessibility and SEO.

Do any of you practice this or something similar? What ordering do you use?

Thank You!

Ken Thompson
