By Impran M N
Desktop and mobile visitors interact with your site differently, so a layout that works well on one screen size doesn't always translate to the other. This guide explains how to edit desktop and mobile versions separately in Squarespace so both experiences feel intentional. It's a quick process that matters for anyone running a business portfolio or eCommerce site.
01Access the editing mode
Open the design editor in Squarespace where you can toggle between desktop and mobile views.
02Understand the differences between devices
Consider how layout, spacing, and content priorities differ between desktop and mobile before making changes.
03Make key design adjustments
Adjust elements individually for each device so your site looks intentional rather than just automatically resized.
04Optimize for user experience
Focus on making sure important content and calls to action are easy to find on both desktop and mobile.
05Avoid common mistakes
Watch for inconsistencies in branding or missing content that can happen when desktop and mobile versions aren't reviewed together.
