Mobile-first isn't just a buzzword—it's a design philosophy that leads to better products for all screen sizes.
Why Mobile First?
Starting with the smallest screen forces you to prioritize content and functionality. This focus carries through to larger screens.
Progressive Enhancement
Build the core experience for mobile, then enhance for larger screens. This ensures everyone gets a functional experience.
Touch-Friendly Interactions
Design for fingers, not cursors. Larger touch targets and gesture-based interactions improve the mobile experience.
Performance Optimization
Mobile users often have slower connections. Optimize performance from the start.
