NOPINCHING

• Contrast – carefully consider your color choices to ensure the text and images stand out properly against the background.

• Avoid reversing out small text on a dark background.

• Text Size – 13px for body copy. No pinching = 15-16px (depending on font) and preview it on your mobile device.

• Imagery – Images help tell your brand’s story, so consider taking the time to choose artful shots that complement your message.

• Layout – One-column layout works best for mobile. If you have a multi-column layout, plan how elements shift or stack.
