With mobile browsing constantly on the rise, creating a mobile portfolio makes perfect sense. To get your mobile portfolio up and running in no time, these 10 quick tips run through everything you need to know.
01. Clear type
Make sure you use a font size that's legible on all devices, so your text can be easily read without zooming in.
02. Tappable links
Your layout needs to be touch-friendly. Leave adequate space between links so mobile users can easily tap the correct one.
03. No plugins
Avoid using software and browser plug-ins that aren't commonly available on a wide range of mobile devices. Flash is a prime example that you should avoid.
Responsive design is the future of web design, make sure you're ready!
04. Responsive design
Use an adaptive or responsive layout so your content fits the screen rather than forcing users to scroll horizontally or zoom in.
05. Check the fit
Chosen a responsive theme? Don't assume it’s definitely working as it should. Make sure you test it out on multiple devices.
