Some tips for preparing for Mobile

  • Make sure that your content is set to Fill and can fit in a 375 width. Desktop typically uses max-width.



  • Avoid Fixed sizes, embrace min/max values.



  • Screen paddings for Mobile are vastly different from Desktop and Tablet. They are as follow: 96 for Desktop, 24 for Tablet and 20 for Mobile. Content paddings and gaps also scale similarly.



  • For Headings, use the Mobile counterparts. E.G. Heading 1 to Mobile Heading 1.



  • For best CSS implementation, set everything to Auto Layout. There are 2 elements that use Absolute: backgrounds and overlays.



  • Typically, Auto Layout direction is set to Vertical for Mobile and Horizontal for Desktop.



  • Use Auto Layout Wrap when you can. This saves the trouble of switching direction.



  • Some assets like mockups and illustrations need to be scaled (K) at 0.75x or 0.5x for Mobile.
