With mobile traffic accounting for over 50% of web usage, designing for mobile devices first has become essential. This approach ensures better user experience across all devices.

Core Principles

  • Start with the smallest screen size
  • Focus on essential content first
  • Use touch-friendly interface elements
  • Optimize loading speeds

Quick Tip

Test your designs on actual devices, not just browser developer tools. Real devices reveal issues that simulators might miss.

Remember: mobile-first doesn't mean mobile-only. It's about progressive enhancement from the ground up.
