RE: Using the word 'below' as a visual characteristic

There's just one trap for the unwary to always watch for when using
relative terms like "above" and "below" - just check that they remain true
in all responsive layouts of the page.

Occasionally I see cases where something, that was below in the desktop
layout, ends up above it in the tablet and/or mobile layouts! If that
happens you should either change the wording, or change how things are
arranged in the other layout.

In that case it is also worth checking that the order of content makes
sense in all layouts, as this problem of above/below becoming untrue in the
mobile layout may be an indication that the content order is wrong in one
of the layouts. In a case I had a few weeks ago, a final submit button had
been placed inside the wrong div, so in the mobile layout it now appeared
half way down the page, above content that should logically have come
before it.
