How to Make Your Kajabi Website Mobile-Friendly: A Step-by-Step Guide

A mobile-friendly website isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a must for any coach or course creator using Kajabi. With over 60% of web traffic coming from mobile devices, a site that isn’t optimized can frustrate visitors, increase bounce rates, and cost you potential clients.

Unlike other platforms like Shopify or WordPress, Kajabi’s mobile-friendly responsive design features are built-in (no matter what theme you choose for your website) to help your site look polished on any screen. But to make the most of these features, it is important to fine-tune your mobile design settings. 

Here’s how to make your Kajabi website mobile-friendly in just a few simple steps.

1. Adjust Page Settings for Mobile Readability

Typography plays a huge role in user experience, especially on smaller screens. In Kajabi, you can customize the header and body font sizes specifically for mobile to ensure your text is legible and easy to read.

Best Practices for Mobile-Friendly Typography:

• Adjust header font size to ensure clarity on small screens
• Adjust line spacing to improve readability
• Use a clean, sans-serif font for easy mobile viewing
• Keep paragraphs short for better user experience

To edit these settings in Kajabi, navigate to Website > Design > Customize > Settings, then tweak font sizes and line heights in the respective section to achieve a balanced look.

2. Optimize Padding & Alignment for Mobile Users

One of the most overlooked aspects of responsive design is padding and alignment. What looks good on desktop can feel cluttered or misaligned on mobile if spacing isn’t adjusted correctly.

Key Mobile-Friendly Spacing Adjustments for your Kajabi Website:

• Reduce excess padding and add padding if needed around text and images for a cleaner look. 
  
  NOTE: Kajabi often defaults to “0” padding on all sides in mobile settings so you will want to go into the mobile settings and remove the “0’s” then view it in mobile to determine if it needs more or less padding. 

• Ensure buttons and CTAs are large enough to tap easily and have enough padding around them so that they look like they are buttons rather than colored sections
  
  
• Adjust alignment so that sections appear visually balanced. This may mean that some sections should be center aligned and some should be left justified. 
  
  → GENERAL RULE OF THUMB: if it is more than 3 lines of text, it should be left justified. 

Kajabi allows you to fine-tune these elements on each page within each SECTION setting and each BLOCK setting under the Mobile Section of the Side Menu, ensuring your site looks professional on every device. When editing these settings, It is important to view your editor in “Mobile View” so that you can view the adjustments in real-time.

3. Fine-Tune Your Hero Section for Mobile

Your hero section is the first thing visitors see—it needs to make an impact. On mobile, large images and parallax backgrounds can sometimes scale awkwardly, making text difficult to read or cutting off important visual elements.

How to Optimize Your Hero Section on Mobile:

• Reduce image height for better visibility
• Adjust text placement to prevent overlap
• Disable parallax scrolling if it causes readability issues
• Test CTA button placement for easy access

NOTE: it is sometimes necessary to create separate sections on a website page to accommodate design for DESKTOP and design for MOBILE independently.  

On our personal homepage, we use an image background for our desktop and a separate section with image + text BLOCKS so that it translates across each device seamlessly.

4. Test Your Site on Different Devices

Even after making adjustments, always test your Kajabi website on various mobile devices. As mentioned above, Kajabi provides a built-in mobile preview mode, but real-world testing ensures everything looks and functions correctly on different screen sizes.

How to Test Your Mobile-Friendly Design Effectively:

• Use Kajabi’s preview mode to check mobile responsiveness
• View your site on actual smartphones and tablets
• Check load times to ensure fast performance. We use Google’s free page speed analyzer.
• Get feedback from real users to identify any issues
