What is mobile-first design and do you use it?

Mobile-first design means designing for mobile devices first, then expanding to larger screens. It's the opposite of traditional desktop-first design. We use mobile-first approaches because: over 65% of Australians browse primarily on mobile, Google uses mobile versions for search ranking, starting with mobile constraints forces focus on essential content, and it's easier to scale up than down. Mobile-first doesn't mean mobile-only - your website will look excellent on all devices. We prioritise touch-friendly buttons, readable text sizes without zooming, simple navigation, and fast loading on mobile networks. Then we enhance the experience for tablets and desktops with additional features and more sophisticated layouts. This approach creates better websites for the majority of your visitors.
