Navigation your thumb can't reach is navigation that slows every interaction

Navigation at the top of a mobile screen is hard to reach one-handed. Move key actions to the bottom bar where thumbs can reach them easily.

UX tip graphic with the title 'Match input fields with the appropriate keyboard type.' Two mobile form views side by side showing Phone and Email fields: the left view marked with a red X shows a QWERTY text keyboard for a phone number field, the right view marked with a green checkmark shows a numeric keypad for the same phone number field.

The right keyboard for each field is the kind of detail users notice when it's wrong

Showing a text keyboard for number fields forces users to switch modes. Set the right input type so the correct keyboard appears automatically.

If users can't tell there are more slides, those slides don't exist

Users miss carousel content when navigation cues are too subtle. Clear arrows and active dot indicators make it obvious how to interact.

UX tip graphic with the title 'Draw attention to the plan you want users to choose.' Top section marked with a red X shows three equal-weight pricing cards (Basic $19, Pro $49, Business $119) with identical styling and outline buttons. Bottom section marked with a green checkmark shows the same three plans with the Pro plan elevated, featuring a 'MOST POPULAR' badge, larger card, and a purple filled CTA button while the other plans have outline buttons.

Equal-weight pricing cards turn a simple choice into an exhausting comparison

When all pricing plans look the same, users stall. Draw attention to the recommended option with visual emphasis to reduce comparison time.

UX tip graphic with the title 'Design touch targets with enough size and spacing.' Two dropdown menus side by side: the left menu marked with a red X shows small, tightly packed items (Account, Activity, Help, Settings) with minimal spacing, the right menu marked with a green checkmark shows the same items with generous padding, larger text, and clear visual separation between each row.

Every mis-tap is a small frustration that adds up to a big one

Small, tightly spaced controls lead to mis-taps. Design touch targets with enough size and spacing so users can interact accurately on mobile.

UX tip graphic with the title 'Design mobile layouts around content priority, not desktop structure.' Two mobile screens side by side: the left screen marked with a red X shows a cramped desktop layout shrunk into mobile with small text and a low-contrast button, the right screen marked with a green checkmark shows a clean content-first layout with centered headline, clear description, and a prominent purple 'Browse templates' CTA button.

Readability

Shrinking a desktop page doesn't make it mobile — it just makes it harder to read

Shrinking your desktop layout into mobile creates a cluttered, hard-to-use experience. Prioritize key content and actions first for mobile users.

Help & onboarding

Apr 3, 2026

If your first interaction with a mobile user is blocking their view, you've already lost

Blocking popups on mobile disrupt the user's flow and often get dismissed without reading. Smaller inline prompts convert better by respecting the experience.

UX tip graphic with the title 'Use real-time validation to guide users and reduce errors.' Two form cards side by side showing a 'Join our community' form: the left card marked with a red X shows a generic 'Please verify all inputs and try again' error after submission with a red 'Try again' button, the right card marked with a green checkmark shows an inline 'Invalid email address' error directly below the email field with a red border highlight. BRIX Templates branding at the bottom.

Forms & inputs

Catch errors as they happen, not after the user thinks they're done

Generic post-submit errors leave users guessing what went wrong. Inline validation checks each field on blur and shows specific fixes instantly.
