Why does my Wix site look different on mobile?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 5:59 am

The mobile web has seen dramatic growth in the past few years, with more and more people browsing the web on their phones. This has led to a number of changes in how websites look on mobile devices – and Wix Sites in particular.

One of the main differences is how mobile devices handle images. On a desktop, an image will typically be displayed as a full-sized file.

PRO TIP: If you’re noticing that your Wix site looks different on mobile than it does on desktop, there are a few possible reasons. First, check to see if you have a mobile-specific version of your site. If you do, then it’s likely that the differences you’re seeing are intentional and not cause for concern. However, if you don’t have a mobile-specific site, then the differences could be due to how Wix sites are displayed on mobile devices. In general, Wix sites will scale down to fit on smaller screens, which can result in some elements appearing differently than they do on desktop. If you’re not happy with how your site looks on mobile, we recommend reaching out to Wix support for help.

However, on a mobile device, images are typically reduced in size, and may not even be visible at all if they’re not sized properly. This means that many Wix sites use images that are not optimised for mobile devices, which can cause them to look pixelated and blurry.

Another problem is that mobile devices are typically less powerful than desktop computers, and therefore they may not be able to handle complex websites as well. This can lead to websites crashing or freezing when viewed on a mobile device, and can also make it difficult to navigate around the website.

Overall, there are a number of reasons why Wix Sites look different on mobile devices. If you’re planning to launch a Wix Site on mobile, it’s important to make sure that it looks good on all devices, and that you’re using optimised images and fonts.
