Do responsive sites have to be so tall on mobile?
This is perhaps a hangover from approach a desktop first creative design and then stacking everything for the mobile version of the site. I agree that with a little bit more care we can improve the height of our sites while retaining the content.
On smaller screens, stacking things into a single column is the go-to move and often, as long as the content stays within the proper width, further thought isn’t given to the height of the page. As a result, I’ve noticed that in my own designs and many out in the wild, mobile page lengths tend to be quite long. This post is a suggestion to at least keep the height of the browser’s viewport in mind as you’re designing responsive sites.
