What is the mobile first approach?
A “mobile-first” approach involves designing a desktop site starting with the mobile version, which is then adapted to larger screens (contrary to the traditional approach of starting with a desktop site and then adapting it to smaller screens).
Why do developers choose mobile first approach?
Prioritizing design for mobiles makes sense as there are space limitations in devices with smaller screen sizes and teams need to ensure that the key elements of the website are prominently displayed for anyone using those screens.
Is mobile first still a thing?
Is mobile first still relevant? No. There are too many screen sizes and other variables in play for us to consider any one of them over another.
What is difference between desktop first approach and mobile first approach?
When you start with desktop-first, you can design very broadly and add many features. Then you have to check later which function is really important for mobile. When you start with mobile-first you first start thinking about the most important features, which you can then also give more attention on desktop.
