Mobile-first design: most of your visitors are on a phone

For most small businesses in India, the majority of visitors arrive on a phone. A site that only looks good on a computer loses them.

What mobile-first means

You design the phone version first, with the essentials, and then add to it for larger screens, instead of squeezing a big layout down.

Mobile checklist

  • Text: body text at least 16 px, so nobody needs to zoom.
  • Buttons: big enough to tap, around 44 px, with space between them.
  • Menu: short, and easy to open and close.
  • Forms: few fields, and the right keyboard (number pad for phone numbers).
  • No sideways scroll and no overlapping text.
  • Speed: loads fast on mobile data.

Put the action first

A "Call" and "WhatsApp" button at the top or fixed at the bottom saves effort for the visitor.

Test on real devices

Open your site on two or three different phones, including a small and an older one. Try to complete your most important task, such as placing an enquiry.

Do not hide key information

Prices, address and contact should not be buried inside collapsed sections.

Every site we build is tested on phones first. See our website services.
