• Mobile screens are smaller, but higher resolution — images can be 'wider' in mobile than in desktop

• Mobile context have shorter attention spans• Single column layouts require specific hierarchy of

information• Smartphones have the least break points — if your message

works for mobile, it will work better for tablets & desktops• Progressive enhancement vs. graceful degradation

9 best practices for responsive landing pages that work

© i-on interactive, inc. All rights reserved • www.ioninteractive.com

1. Design in your landscape smartphone viewport

Start small & wide. Landscape smartphone viewport can have the widest possible image use cases.

Start designing and previewing in this viewport.

2. Spin often

Continuously check your smartphone landscape viewport against your portrait viewport.

Portrait is the most narrow and will require the most thoughtful & concise headline lengths.

3. Scroll frequently

Preview, preview, preview.

Scrolling all the way down to the bottom of your pages will help you maintain the integrity of the entire page, across all viewports.

4. Create finger-friendly forms

Focus on how your forms scale, fit, scroll, their field types, how buttons behave & how hints and errors are surfaced.

5. Leverage interactive content

Mimic the mobile app. More content in less space with more elegance.

Minimize long-page scrolling with tabbed content accordions and other app-like interactive elements.

6. Use highly communicative images

As your images change positions or size, notice how they are perceived at various viewports.

7. Make smart navigation choices

Decide how many nav tabs responsive design can support. This depends, based on length of words.

Avoid on-states that create two-touch requirements for actuation.

Ensure video and other third-party media is responsive as well.
