    First of all, it's a HUGE red flag for user experience and your design process. To make a basic changes, make sure you have a quality User Flow. It will give a wider perspective and better understanding of how you want your design to work for user.

    Start with a unified design system that includes consistent typography, colors, spacing, and UI components across web and mobile. This ensures brand and functional consistency. Use a mobile-first approach to prioritize essential features and scale up for larger screens, maintaining usability across devices. Conduct cross-platform testing to identify inconsistencies and gather real user feedback. Leverage responsive design principles and adaptive layouts to provide a seamless experience. Finally, collaborate closely with designers and developers to align on a shared vision, ensuring both platforms feel cohesive while optimizing for their unique contexts.

    Ensuring seamless UX across web and mobile means designing with consistency in mind from the start. Using a shared design system—covering typography, colors, spacing, and interaction patterns—helps maintain coherence. Short reviews comparing both designs side-by-side quickly highlight gaps. Doing brief usability tests helps confirm that interactions feel natural on both platforms, even if adapted differently. Clear communication between web and mobile teams ensures alignment without surprises.

    In CMS platforms like Shopify, Wix, WordPress, and Webflow, you need to design for three screens: ✅ Desktop First – Create a well-structured layout with clear fonts and banners. ✅ Tablet Optimization – Adjust spacing, scale images, and tweak navigation for touch. ✅ Mobile Perfection – Prioritize simplicity, larger buttons, and easy scrolling. When designing in Figma, always create separate layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile to ensure a smooth experience. How do you handle responsive design in CMS? #WebDesign #Shopify #Wix #WordPress #Webflow #UXUIDesign

    If your web and mobile designs don’t match up, you don’t have a design problem—you have a strategy problem. A seamless experience starts with a design system that isn’t just visually consistent but functionally adaptable. Think in terms of fluid experiences, not fixed layouts. Design for user intent first, then let the interface flex across devices. Mobile-first is about priorities (you have less space vs. web). Test in real-world contexts because what works in a wireframe doesn’t always work in a user’s hand. The goal? A product that feels intuitive everywhere, not just "optimized" somewhere.

    To bridge the gap between web and mobile design and ensure a seamless user experience, I focus on consistency, responsiveness, and prioritization. I maintain a consistent visual language—using the same colors, typography, icons, and branding—across both platforms to ensure users recognize the app or website regardless of the device. I implement responsive design, ensuring layouts adapt smoothly to different screen sizes through flexible grids and media queries. Additionally, I prioritize core features for each platform, streamlining mobile content and interactions for touch-based navigation, while on the web, I provide more detailed information without overcrowding the interface.

    To keep web and mobile designs consistent, I start with a mobile-first approach, making sure everything looks good and works smoothly on any screen size. I keep the branding, colors, and navigation the same so users always feel like they’re in the right place. Testing on different devices helps catch any issues before they become a problem. Since people interact differently on mobile, I make sure buttons are easy to tap, pages load fast, and everything feels natural to use. The goal is simple—no matter where someone visits the site, the experience should be smooth and frustration-free.

    To provide a consistent user experience on the web and mobile, I begin with a single design system that establishes consistent components, typography, colour, and spacing across all platforms. This ensures visual and functional consistency irrespective of screen size. I also design responsively from the start, frequently designing for mobile first to guarantee core functionality works well at scale. Critical interactions are not resized but rather adapted to meet the behaviour and expectations of users across various devices. Cross-platform reviews regularly and working with developers ensure that mismatches are caught early and alignment is maintained throughout the design and development process.

    We had this issue in a fintech app. Web looked sharp, mobile felt clunky. I made both teams use the app daily on mobile. Pain became obvious fast. Now we use shared design tokens + cross-platform QA every sprint.
