Why Mobile-Friendly Design Matters (And How I Fix It)
Did you know that over 60% of web traffic now comes from mobile devices? That means if your website isn’t optimized for smartphones and tablets, you’re likely losing visitors, customers, and even search rankings.
At BureauJo, I specialize in building fast, responsive websites that look great on any screen. Whether it’s a business site, portfolio, or eCommerce store, I ensure that every element—from fonts to images to navigation—adapts perfectly to mobile users.
I’ve worked on many projects where a client’s website looked fine on desktop but was clunky, slow, or hard to use on mobile. For example, [insert client example or project link] had issues with oversized text and misaligned images on smaller screens. By tweaking the design with Divi’s Responsive Design Editor, I transformed it into a seamless mobile experience.

In this article, I’ll walk you through:
✅ How I check for mobile responsiveness before a site goes live.
✅ The exact steps I take to make a website fully mobile-friendly using Divi.

My Process for Making a Website Mobile-Friendly
When I build a website, I don’t just design for one screen size—I design for all devices from the start. My process ensures that every website I create at BureauJo is fully responsive, no matter where or how it’s viewed.
Step 1 – Checking for Mobile Issues
Before making adjustments, I test how a site looks on different devices using:
-
Divi’s Responsive Preview – to see how the layout changes for mobile and tablet.
-
Chrome Dev Tools – for checking real-time adjustments.
-
Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test – to catch any hidden usability issues.
📌 Example: When working on [insert project], I noticed that the site’s buttons were too small on mobile. By using Divi’s responsive editor, I resized them for better usability.
Step 2 – Adjusting Font Sizes for Mobile
One of the biggest mistakes I see is text that looks perfect on desktop but is unreadable on a phone. To fix this, I:
-
Adjust font sizes for each screen size in Divi.
-
Optimize line height and spacing for better readability.
📌 Example: In [insert project], I increased the mobile font size from 14px to 16px and adjusted spacing, making it much easier to read on smaller screens.
Step 3 – Optimizing Column & Section Layouts
Sometimes, columns don’t stack properly on mobile, leaving awkward gaps or misaligned content. I fix this by:
-
Stacking elements correctly in Divi’s column settings.
-
Adjusting padding & margins to keep things neat.
📌 Example: For [insert client], their mobile site had too much white space between sections. I fine-tuned the row settings to create a cleaner flow on smaller screens.
Step 4 – Making Navigation Mobile-Friendly
A bad mobile menu can drive visitors away. I ensure every site has:
-
A hamburger menu for small screens.
-
Sticky headers that improve usability.
-
Tap-friendly buttons & links.
📌 Example: A client’s old menu had tiny links that were hard to tap on mobile. I redesigned it using Divi’s mobile menu settings to improve navigation.
Step 5 – Speed Optimization for Mobile Users
A slow site = a high bounce rate. To keep mobile sites fast, I:
-
Compress images without losing quality.
-
Minimize animations that slow loading times.
-
Use lazy loading to improve performance.
📌 Example: By optimizing images and removing unnecessary animations, I improved [insert project]’s mobile load time by X%.
Final Testing & Launch
Before any site goes live, I run a final round of testing to ensure:
✅ It looks perfect on real devices (iPhones, Androids, tablets).
✅ There are no broken layouts across different screen sizes.
✅ The mobile speed is optimized.
📌 Live Example: You can see this process in action on [insert project link], where I transformed a desktop-heavy design into a fully mobile-friendly website.
