Checking and adjusting your Sitejet site on phones before publishing

A large share of visits come from phones. Sitejet Builder templates already adapt to the screen, but it is worth checking page by page before you publish.

Viewing the three widths

The builder shows the site on desktop, tablet and phone, and lets you set the zoom for each view. In each one, check that the text is readable and nothing is cut off.

Adjustments for phones only

In the phone view, many adjustments apply to that width only:

1 Fewer columns. A three-column section can become a single column.
2 A different order. Reorder the elements inside a block so the most important one comes first.
3 Hiding an element. Double-click it, open the Style panel on the left and, under Visible, untick the box. The builder greys it out as hidden on phones — it still shows on desktop.
Tip: hide sparingly. If a piece of text matters on desktop, it matters on a phone too: shorten it instead.

What to check before publishing

Check Why
Buttons easy to tap Small or crowded buttons make people tap the wrong one.
Tappable phone and WhatsApp On a phone this is the contact people use most — see how to put WhatsApp on your site.
Light images Huge images slow the page down on mobile networks.
Menu Open and close the menu and check every page is there.

After publishing

Open the site on your own phone, on mobile data and not only on Wi-Fi. In cPanel, Details also shows a preview and an Open in a New Tab button.

Temporary address: if the site is still on a temporary address, the preview inside cPanel does not show (because of cookie consent requirements). Open it in a new tab — or see how to see the site before the domain points here.

Something looks wrong on phones and you cannot work out why? Send us the address.
