Mobile & Layout Guide
Most visitors will see your website on a phone. Use these tips and prompts to make your layout clean, scannable, and easy to use on any screen.
Always check mobile after building. Airo builds for desktop first. After your initial build, review the site on a phone and use the prompts below to fix any layout issues.
8 mobile layout improvements
Each area includes tips and a ready-to-use Airo prompt.
Reducing scrolling
Long pages lose mobile visitors. Move the most important content and CTA above the fold. Cut sections that don't help visitors decide.
- →Put the CTA in the hero — don't make visitors scroll to find it
- →Remove sections that repeat information
- →Shorten long paragraphs to 2–3 sentences
Reduce the amount of scrolling needed on mobile. Move the main CTA higher, shorten long sections, and remove any repeated content. The most important information should appear in the first screen.
Making buttons easier to tap
Buttons on mobile need to be large enough to tap without zooming. The minimum recommended tap target is 44×44px.
- →Make all buttons at least 44px tall
- →Add enough padding so buttons don't feel cramped
- →Space buttons apart so users don't tap the wrong one
Make all buttons easier to tap on mobile. Increase button height and padding. Ensure there is enough space between buttons so they are easy to tap separately.
Keeping forms simple
Mobile users abandon long forms. Keep forms to the essential fields only — you can always follow up for more information.
- →Ask for only what you need — name, email, message
- →Use large input fields with clear labels
- →Make the submit button obvious and easy to tap
Simplify the contact form for mobile. Keep only essential fields: [list fields you need]. Make inputs large and easy to tap. The submit button should be full-width on mobile.
Moving important sections higher
On mobile, visitors see less at once. The most persuasive content — your value proposition, CTA, and trust signals — should appear early.
- →Hero with CTA should be the first thing visible
- →Move testimonials or trust signals above the fold
- →Don't bury your phone number or booking link
Move the main CTA higher on the page so it's visible without scrolling on mobile. Also move [section name] higher — it's important for convincing new visitors.
Making cards easier to scan
Cards that look great on desktop can feel cramped on mobile. Make sure cards stack vertically and have enough padding.
- →Cards should stack to a single column on mobile
- →Add enough padding inside each card
- →Keep card content short — title, 1–2 lines, CTA
Improve the card layout for mobile. Cards should stack to a single column. Add enough padding inside each card. Keep card content short and easy to scan.
Fixing cramped mobile layouts
Cramped layouts happen when desktop spacing doesn't adapt to mobile. Text, images, and buttons need room to breathe.
- →Increase horizontal padding on mobile (at least 16px)
- →Don't let text run edge-to-edge
- →Give images enough space — don't crop them awkwardly
Fix the cramped layout on mobile. Increase padding and spacing so content has room to breathe. Text should not run edge-to-edge. Images should display fully without awkward cropping.
Improving spacing
Good spacing makes content easier to read and sections easier to distinguish. Too little space feels cluttered; too much feels disconnected.
- →Add clear visual separation between sections
- →Use consistent spacing between elements
- →Don't use tiny text — minimum 16px for body copy
Improve the spacing and visual separation between sections on mobile. Add consistent padding between sections. Ensure body text is at least 16px and easy to read without zooming.
Making CTAs visible
Your CTA should stand out visually — not blend into the page. Use a contrasting colour, clear label, and enough size to be noticed.
- →CTA button should use a contrasting colour
- →Make the CTA label specific and action-oriented
- →Consider a sticky CTA bar at the bottom of long pages
Make the main CTA more visible on mobile. Use a contrasting button colour, increase the button size, and use a specific action label: "[your CTA text]". Consider adding a sticky CTA bar at the bottom.
