With mobile-first, the mobile version is the starting point for a website or webshop, because 50% of the searches are via mobile devices.

Mobile first is a method in which the mobile version is the starting point for realizing a website or webshop. First, websites and webshop were developed in desktop and laptop versions. These were then slightly modified and scaled down for correct display in mobile phones. Nowadays programmers more often start from the mobile version and then develop a desktop version from it. These versions do not differ in content from the desktop versions, only that they are displayed differently.

But why are programmers increasingly using a mobile version?

Why mobile first?

A mobile phone is now indispensable. Half of the searches are therefore performed on mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. This means that websites and web shops must be well designed. If this is not the case, the user-friendliness will be low and the potential customer will be able to leave. Web designers therefore more often assume that the mobile version will become the priority of a website or webshop, while the desktop version will be further developed later.
