Page structure: The body element
The actual content of a web page is located within the body element.
Order of importance
When structuring the content of a page, it is advisable to put this in order of importance in the HTML. In other words, put important content first, and place the least important content (navigation for instance) at the bottom. See the example. Note: CSS is used to present content on the page in question; the visual layout need not be the same as the structure. Structuring the content in this way increases the findabillity, accessibility and usability of the information. Also read about skipping long navigation lists.
Rank the content of the page in the HTML source code in order of importance.
