Check Your Website on Desktop and Mobile

Use the responsive canvas to catch image crops, long headings, menu issues, and spacing problems before visitors see them.

What you’ll accomplish

You will complete a repeatable desktop-and-mobile quality check of every important page.

The mobile canvas is not just a smaller desktop view. Use it to inspect the mobile identity, navigation, image framing, viewers, and horizontal interactions.
1

Start with desktop

Select the desktop canvas button and review the header, Hero, every Home block, footer, and primary pages.

Click menus, portfolio covers, viewers, previous and next controls, and any film strip or contact sheet.

2

Switch to mobile

Select the phone canvas button. Review the same journey instead of checking only the top of the Home page.

Watch for names that wrap badly, labels that collide, buttons that feel too small, and text that sits too close to the edge.

3

Inspect photograph framing

Check faces, horizons, architecture, and panoramas. If Fill frame removes essential content, use Show full image or choose a more flexible source image.

4

Check reading and interaction

Confirm that body text is readable, captions are not clipped, overlays have enough contrast, and horizontally scrolling presentations provide an obvious way to move.

5

Repeat after major changes

Run this check whenever you change the template, identity, Hero, navigation, or page order. Save only after both canvas sizes are satisfactory.
