Optimizing your page for mobile devices is crucial to providing a seamless user experience, especially as more visitors access your site from smartphones and tablets. In this article, we’ll explore effective techniques for designing mobile-friendly pages in ClickFunnels, ensuring your content is responsive, visually appealing, and fast-loading.
Requirements
An active ClickFunnels account
A page created in your workspace
Using Desktop Only and Mobile Only Sections
ClickFunnels allows you to set Sections, Rows, and Elements as either Desktop Only or Mobile Only. This feature is particularly useful for creating device-specific layouts, such as:
A complex multi-column layout for desktops.
A simplified stacked layout for mobile devices.
How to Use Desktop and Mobile Only Settings
Set a Section, Row, or Element to Desktop Only to hide it on smaller screens.
Set a Section, Row, or Element to Mobile Only to display it exclusively on mobile devices.

Tips:
While this feature is effective for creating device-specific layouts, it’s important to note that duplicating Sections for desktop and mobile can increase page load times, particularly for pages containing large amounts of media such as images or videos. Each duplicated Section contributes to the total content size, potentially impacting performance. To ensure optimal page speed, use this feature strategically and limit excessive duplication where possible.
Using Mobile-Specific Properties
Certain Elements in the ClickFunnels editor include properties specifically designed for mobile customization. These properties allow you to tailor your content to fit smaller screens effectively. Examples include:.png "image(455).png")
Font Size: Adjust font sizes for text elements to ensure readability on mobile.
Icon Size: Customize icon sizes to make them more proportionate to smaller layouts.
Using Flex Containers for Responsive Layouts
The Flex Container is a powerful tool for creating responsive layouts. Unlike traditional Rows, Flex Containers allow you to control the alignment, spacing, and wrapping of child elements dynamically, making them an excellent choice for mobile optimization..png "image(456).png")
How to Optimize with Flex Containers
Change Flex Direction: Switch from horizontal Row alignment on desktop to vertical Column alignment on mobile for better readability.
Enable Wrapping: Allow child elements to wrap onto the next line when space is limited.
Reorder Content: Use the Row Reverse or Column Reverse properties to rearrange the order of child elements on mobile.
Flex Containers reduce the need for duplicate content, as they can adapt seamlessly to different screen sizes. For detailed instructions on using Flex Containers, refer to our article Flex: Add Flex Layout Using Flex Container.
Using Custom CSS
If duplicating Sections or using Flex Containers doesn’t meet your design requirements, you can apply Custom CSS to your content for precise mobile layouts. CSS allows you to fine-tune the appearance of your page and adjust layouts directly based on screen size.
Examples of CSS for Mobile Optimization
Hide or Show Content: Use media queries to hide or show specific elements on mobile.
Adjust Font and Spacing: Modify font sizes, padding, and margins to create a clean and responsive design.
Custom Layouts: Apply custom positioning or flexbox rules to achieve advanced mobile layouts.
