Mobile Landing Page Design

Mobile Landing Page Campaign

There is a wide variety of operating systems and screen sizes in the web-enabled and smart phones commonly in use. The format and type of content created needs to take this fact into account. Some mobile browsers are able to expand and pan, but many cannot. A few specific suggestions include:

  • Keep the design simple and bold for easy viewing and navigation
  • Avoid using large images and adding content to th¬e page which requires significant bandwidth
  • Use basic elements like "div" tags and unordered lists with minimal styling to create menus and buttons instead of images. By simply adding a background color, a border and making internal tags display as block elements your navigation will appear as buttons and stretch nicely across any size mobile screen.
  • Remember that different mobile browsers or QR Code readers will override some site code (such as scaling), so use minimal styling
  • Some QR Code readers, such as Mobile Tag, add a query string onto the URL which can cause issues with some sites
