Mobile-first UI Patterns That Convert
Design for constrained attention: one clear next action per screen, lower friction, and faster completion.
Prioritize one primary action per viewport
Mobile interfaces fail when too many actions compete for attention. A dominant primary CTA with clear intent reduces decision fatigue and improves completion rates.
- Use one primary button style for the main action.
- Keep destructive actions secondary and separated.
- Avoid unrelated links near conversion-critical steps.
Use progressive disclosure in forms
Long forms feel heavier on mobile than desktop. Breaking forms into focused steps and revealing complexity only when needed keeps momentum high.
- Show only required fields in the first step.
- Apply inline validation with actionable error messages.
- Preserve entered state when users navigate backward.
Measure friction, not just end conversion
By the time final conversion drops, friction is already widespread. Track early interaction signals to detect and fix drop-off points quickly.
- Time to first meaningful action.
- Exit rate per funnel step.
- Error loops by field and by device.
