How to review a website on your phone

Use a real task to uncover problems that a quick visual check can miss.

How to review a website on your phone illustration

Start as a new visitor

Open a service page directly rather than always beginning at the homepage. Check whether you can understand the offer, find the menu and identify the business. Look for clipped headings, tiny text and content that requires horizontal scrolling.

Try the important actions

Call the number, open the WhatsApp link and complete a test enquiry with clearly labelled test details. Confirm that required fields and errors are understandable. The keyboard should not make it impossible to reach the submit control or read the form feedback.

Check image and text balance

Large visuals should support the message without pushing every useful detail far down the page. Look at how images crop in portrait orientation. Important product or service details should remain available as readable text.

Record specific issues

Describe the page, device and steps that caused the problem. A screenshot helps, but the action that led to it is equally useful. After a fix, repeat the same task instead of assuming a change to the stylesheet resolved every affected page.
