# Website Looks Broken on Phones? How to Fix Mobile Layout Problems

Most mobile problems come from an older theme that isn’t responsive, fixed-width elements, oversized images or pop-ups that cover the page. Test on a real phone, list what breaks, and fix the theme or the specific elements causing it.

- **Starting price:** From $100

- **Where:** Remote, anywhere in the U.S.

- **Quote:** Fixed price before work starts

## Try this first

- Open your key pages on an iPhone and an Android phone
- Use Chrome’s device toolbar to preview different screen sizes
- Note sideways scrolling, tiny text and buttons that are hard to tap
- Remove or delay pop-ups on mobile
- Check whether your theme has a newer responsive version
- Run Lighthouse in Chrome for a list of mobile issues

Common causes

- An old theme built before phones came first
- Tables, images or embeds with fixed widths
- Pop-ups and chat widgets covering content
- Menus that need a mouse to open
- Text and buttons too small to tap

If the whole theme isn’t responsive, patching page by page costs more than a rebuild.
