Preview the mobile version of your site

The Mosaic website theme is responsive, which means it is designed to reflow page content in response to the size of the screen the site is being viewed on. While editing pages, we recommend you take time to review the way the content appears on mobile devices (phones and tablets).

The best way to review responsive behaviour is by using your browser's mobile device emulator within its developer tools. See below for how to open the device emulator on each of the browsers that Mosaic supports.
