Overview
Mobile-First Design is a philosophy that prioritizes the mobile user experience. It involves designing for the smallest screen first and then using 'progressive enhancement' to add more complex features and layouts for tablets and desktops.
Benefits
- Focus on Core Content: Forces designers to prioritize the most important information due to limited screen space.
- Performance: Encourages leaner, faster-loading pages.
- Future-Proofing: Ensures the site works well on the most common devices used today.
Implementation
Typically involves using media queries with min-width to add styles as the screen size increases.
