The First Checks for a Mobile-Friendly Website

Open a page your customers use and try their main task on a small phone. Start with what prevents someone reading, navigating or making contact.

Check the first screen

Look at the heading, navigation and main action. Increase the text size and see what wraps or overlaps. Check that a cookie banner or sticky button leaves enough space to use the page.

Try a complete task

Follow a link to a service, fill in a test form or add a product to a basket. Look for cut-off controls, horizontal scrolling and errors that appear away from the field involved.

Fix one pattern and verify other pages

If the problem comes from a shared template, check another page that uses it. Our Liverpool web design team can help find the layout changes with the greatest effect on mobile users.
