Introduction
With more than half of all web traffic coming from mobile devices, mobile responsiveness is no longer optional—it’s essential. Fortunately, Sitejet Builder automatically creates responsive designs, and it also allows you to fine-tune how your site appears on mobile, tablet, and desktop views.
This article walks you through checking and customizing your site’s responsiveness in Sitejet Builder to ensure it looks and functions perfectly across all screen sizes.
What is Mobile Responsiveness?
Mobile responsiveness means your website adjusts its layout, font sizes, images, and navigation to fit smaller screens—like smartphones and tablets—without sacrificing usability or design.
A mobile-friendly site:
-
Loads fast on mobile networks
-
Has readable text without zooming
-
Uses tap-friendly buttons and menus
-
Automatically adjusts layout and images
Accessing Responsive Views in Sitejet Builder
-
Log in to your cPanel
-
Open your website in Sitejet Builder
-
Click the Device Preview Toggle (usually located at the top of the builder)
You’ll see three options:
-
Desktop View
-
Tablet View
-
Mobile View
Click each icon to preview and edit the design specific to that device type.
Editing Layout for Mobile Devices
-
Switch to Mobile View
-
Adjust any layout issues:
-
Resize or reorder columns and sections
-
Stack elements vertically if needed
-
Hide unnecessary elements (like large images or banners)
-
-
Use the Visibility Settings on any block:
-
Show/hide on desktop, tablet, or mobile independently
-
Useful for tailoring content per device
-
Example: Show a smaller hero image on mobile but a large one on desktop.
Adjusting Fonts and Spacing
-
In Mobile View, click on text elements
-
Reduce font size or adjust line height for better readability
-
Modify padding and margins to prevent content from crowding or overlapping
-
Check buttons and menus for touch-friendly spacing
Responsive Navigation Menus
-
Sitejet typically converts your main menu into a hamburger menu on mobile
-
Ensure it's:
-
Easy to open and close
-
Clearly visible
-
Linking to all the correct pages
-
If needed, customize the mobile menu settings in the header’s design panel.
Testing Responsiveness
After making adjustments:
-
Click Preview
-
Test your site in all three views (desktop, tablet, mobile)
-
Use your actual phone or browser’s developer tools (
Ctrl + Shift + I
> toggle mobile view) for real-world testing -
Click on buttons, check forms, and scroll through to confirm everything works smoothly
Best Practices for Mobile Design
-
Use large, tappable buttons
-
Avoid clutter; keep it clean and focused
-
Prioritize speed—compress images and avoid autoplay videos
-
Test across different devices (iOS, Android, tablets)
-
Ensure important content is not hidden below the fold
Conclusion
Sitejet makes it easy to build a fully responsive website, but taking time to review and customize the mobile layout ensures your visitors have the best experience—no matter what device they’re using. A responsive design improves user satisfaction, SEO rankings, and conversion rates.
