Layout reference

Device pairing, fixed.

The cramping comes from the mobile screenshot being absolutely positioned over the desktop one. It crops the desktop, it needs a shadow ring to stay legible, and it breaks completely under 900px. The fix is a two-column grid where neither image touches the other.


Correct — featured build

Two columns · aligned to a shared baseline · no overlap

Central Coast Clean and Fresh website on desktop, showing services and a quote path.

Desktop · 1180 × 649

The same site on a phone, with the contact bar fixed to the bottom of the screen.

Mobile · 470 × 728

Both images fully visible. Bottom edges align. Nothing is cropped, nothing needs a shadow to separate it, and it stacks cleanly on a phone.


Correct — second example

Wrong — what's on the site now

Example of the incorrect overlapping layout.
Mobile screenshot overlapping the desktop one.

The phone covers the bottom-right of the desktop shot — usually where the call button and service list sit, which is the part worth showing. It also needs a thick ring to stay readable, and it sits outside the container so it clips on narrow screens.


Grid builds — desktop only

Don't pair every build. Showing two devices twenty times is what makes the page feel crowded. Pair three or four featured builds; everything else is a single desktop shot.

The rules

1. Never position a device screenshot absolutely over another one.
2. Two columns: desktop takes the remaining width, mobile is a fixed 210px.
3. align-items:end so both sit on the same baseline.
4. Under 900px, stack — desktop first, mobile beneath at 190px.
5. Pair only featured builds. Everything else is desktop only.
6. Every image gets an explicit aspect-ratio so nothing jumps while loading.
