Best Practices for Mobile + Spacing

What You’ll Learn

📱 How to optimize Interactive Spaces for mobile users 📏 How to use spacing settings for a cleaner layout 🔍 Common issues and how to fix them


1. Why Mobile Optimization Matters

Interactive Spaces are highly visual and spatial — but mobile screens are small. To ensure a great experience:

  • Keep interactive points away from the very edges

  • Avoid placing touch points too close together

  • Test your layouts in both desktop and mobile preview modes

💡 A point that looks perfect on desktop may overlap other elements on mobile.


2. Use the Built-In Spacing Controls

In the Interactive Space settings, you’ll find these options:

  • Top/Bottom Padding: Add breathing room above or below your space

  • Point Margin: Set consistent spacing around your interactive blocks

  • Mobile Adjustments: Use the mobile preview to manually adjust X/Y coordinates if necessary


3. Choose the Right Background Size

Your background image affects how your space renders on different screens. Stick to a 16:9 aspect ratio to keep things balanced:

  • ✅ 1280×720

  • ✅ 1920×1080 (Recommended for crisp displays)

  • ✅ 2560×1440 or 3840×2160 for ultra high-res setups

⚠️ Avoid portrait or square backgrounds. These distort the layout on mobile and tablet.


4. Optimize Point Placement

Here are tips to improve the tap experience:

  • Use even spacing between touch points

  • Avoid stacking more than 3–4 points vertically

  • Preview every space on mobile, tablet, and desktop

  • Adjust X/Y coordinates using the block settings for precise control


5. Test Scroll and Load Behavior

Make sure your interactive page:

  • Loads quickly (optimize background image file size)

  • Doesn’t force users to scroll horizontally on mobile

  • Keeps all call-to-action points visible within the safe area

🧪 Always preview on real devices before going live.
