Tips for optimizing flyers for mobile devices

Today, your digital publications need to be more than just mobile-friendly — they need to be mobile-optimized. Here are our top tips for optimizing your digital publications for mobiles:

  • From the beginning, remember to design for mobiles first — so use a grid that’s specifically for mobile devices.
  • Focus on the content of your publication and less on graphic embellishments.
  • Don’t clutter your pages with too much content. Reduce the amount you have per page so that browsers can easily find what they want.
  • Nobody likes straining their eyes to read descriptions, so avoid small copy.
  • Build vertical scrolling into your flyers so that they emulate modern web apps; this improves readability by making it easy to scan and scroll.
