FAQ


1. Why Mobile Optimisation Matters


Mobile browsing has overtaken desktop usage, making it essential for your Wix website to function seamlessly on small screens. Google also prioritises mobile-friendly sites in search rankings, meaning a well-optimised site can lead to higher traffic and conversions.



2. How Wix Handles Mobile Responsiveness


Wix offers a mobile editor that allows you to customise the mobile version of your site without affecting the desktop layout. Features include:


  • Drag-and-drop mobile design tools.


  • Automatic mobile adjustments for Wix templates.


  • Hidden elements to streamline mobile experience.

3. Step 1: Choose a Mobile-Optimised Template


Start with a Wix mobile-responsive template to ensure your site adjusts properly to different screens. These templates come with pre-designed mobile-friendly elements, reducing the need for manual adjustments.


Tip: Preview templates in mobile view before selecting one to save time on future edits.

4. Step 2: Customise Your Mobile View in Wix Editor


Use the Wix Mobile Editor to adjust your layout specifically for mobile users. Key optimisations include:


  • Rearrange elements for a better flow.


  • Resize images and fonts for readability.


  • Hide unnecessary sections to declutter the mobile experience.

5. Step 3: Improve Load Speed for Mobile Users


Speed is crucial for user retention and SEO rankings. To enhance performance:


  • Optimise images by compressing them before uploading.


  • Limit animations that can slow down mobile performance.


  • Enable caching and use Wix’s built-in performance tools.


6. Step 4: Optimise Text & Buttons for Touch Screens


Mobile users navigate with their fingers, so make sure:


  • Font sizes are at least 16px for readability.


  • Buttons are large enough to tap (minimum 48x48 pixels).


  • Spacing is sufficient to prevent accidental clicks.

7. Step 5: Ensure Navigation is Mobile-Friendly


A cluttered navigation menu can frustrate visitors. Best practices include:


  • Using a hamburger menu for easy navigation.


  • Keeping menu options concise (5–7 items max).


  • Ensuring clickable areas are large and easy to access.


8. Step 6: Test Your Mobile Site Performance


Before publishing, test your site on multiple devices:


  • Use Wix’s mobile preview mode.


  • Check with Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test.


  • Get feedback from real users to improve usability.


9. Common Mistakes to Avoid


Avoid these pitfalls when designing your mobile Wix site: ❌ Overcrowded pages – keep it clean and simple. ❌ Small text & buttons – ensure easy readability. ❌ Slow load times – optimise images and scripts. ❌ Ignoring mobile SEO – use mobile-friendly keywords.
