Mobile-First Design: Why It Matters More Than Ever

More than half of the traffic on most websites I build now comes from phones, not desktops. Designing mobile-first isn’t optional anymore.

## What Mobile-First Actually Means
It means designing the small-screen layout first, then expanding up to tablet and desktop — not the other way around.

## Common Mobile Mistakes
Tiny tap targets, text that’s too small to read, and pop-ups that are impossible to close on a phone screen.

## What Good Mobile Design Looks Like
Large, easy-to-tap buttons, a simple collapsed navigation menu, and content that’s readable without zooming in.

## Test on Real Devices
Browser dev tools are useful, but nothing replaces actually opening the site on a real phone before calling a project done.

A site that feels effortless on mobile almost always feels great on desktop too.
