Designer approved it on a big monitor
Shopper scrolled past it on a phone
That is the whole problem
On the Amazon app
Image gallery sits at the top
Bullets get pushed way down the page
For a mobile shopper
Your images are the sales pitch
Sometimes the only one they see
And shoppers do not pinch to zoom
They scroll to a competitor
Build for the thumb
Design every image
Inside a phone sized frame first
Desktop second
One message per image
If it needs a paragraph
It needs another slide
Crop tight so the product fills the frame
Swap dense spec grids for icons
A few bold words
Preview A+ Content in mobile view
before you hit publish
A+ modules stack on mobile
Text baked into images shrinks with them
What looked clean on desktop turns into fine print
Every image should pass the glance test from arm's length
If it cannot sell at thumb speed
It cannot sell
