This lays the foundations for the Mobile First philosophy. This new way of looking at digital solutions puts <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">the user at the centre, knowing that when accessing the internet or shopping online, the user does so via mobile devices<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It is a new way of creating solutions that <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">offer a better user experience by creating not only a mobile-friendly design but also by focusing on usability<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, this philosophy is not something innovative but is part of a developer&#8217;s day-to-day life. Priority is given to the correct visualisation on mobile devices; while the importance of the computer remains in the background.<\/p>\n<p>In an increasingly global world, <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">people are always connected through devices as diverse as smartphones, tablets, and wearables<\/span><\/strong>. That is why the Mobile First philosophy tries to give total priority to these devices without reducing the quality of design and visualisation on computers.<\/p>\n<h2>From Responsive Design to Mobile First<\/h2>\n<p>In the last few years, you have probably heard about responsive design, which can be considered the prelude to the Mobile First philosophy. Responsive design started to become relevant when it was realised that <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">users were increasingly using their smartphones to browse the web<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, websites began to be designed based on a responsive design to adapt them to mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>Given the importance of continuing with this mobile adaptation process, solutions such as web encapsulation, and the creation of <a href=\"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/progressive-web-app-development-for-business\/\">web apps<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/cross-platform-app-development-characteristics\/\">multiplatform applications<\/a> have emerged.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Encapsulation allows users to enjoy a website as if it were an app<\/span><\/strong>, which is why it is an increasingly popular solution for businesses with websites that want to go one step further in their digitisation and move towards the Mobile First philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>Another of the most popular solutions in recent years is the development of web applications and multiplatform apps. The former are <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">websites that visually look like mobile applications<\/span><\/strong> and adapt perfectly to mobile devices; while <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">cross-platform apps are mobile applications capable of adapting to different devices<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2a58het-f1b7e6ff082c85caaaf3fa3e0d203906\">\n#top .hr.av-2a58het-f1b7e6ff082c85caaaf3fa3e0d203906{\nmargin-top:10px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-2a58het-f1b7e6ff082c85caaaf3fa3e0d203906 .hr-inner{\nwidth:100 px;\nborder-color:#c4c4c4;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-2a58het-f1b7e6ff082c85caaaf3fa3e0d203906 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3kjz36t-e42d06bce2613eb710dcdda444078dc3\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-3kjz36t-e42d06bce2613eb710dcdda444078dc3 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-3kjz36t-e42d06bce2613eb710dcdda444078dc3'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Bringing Innovation Through Smart Apps: Nerea S\u00e1nchez. <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Read the interview!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr ' ><a href='https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/bringing-innovation-through-smart-apps-nerea-sanchez\/'  class='avia-button av-ac4crp-2716ddeaddbf893a031a6f2dcf061247 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-x-large avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color' ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >READ THE INTERVIEW NOW!<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1g7wm9x-0eda98e78fb0c363cdad5054baaaaaa4\">\n#top .hr.av-1g7wm9x-0eda98e78fb0c363cdad5054baaaaaa4{\nmargin-top:10px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-1g7wm9x-0eda98e78fb0c363cdad5054baaaaaa4 .hr-inner{\nwidth:100 px;\nborder-color:#c4c4c4;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-1g7wm9x-0eda98e78fb0c363cdad5054baaaaaa4 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_button  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ls1m0o3v-e26e8eba7dd5cdb31878741cd976b7dc\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ls1m0o3v-e26e8eba7dd5cdb31878741cd976b7dc .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ls1m0o3v-e26e8eba7dd5cdb31878741cd976b7dc'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Advantages of focusing on mobile devices<\/h2>\n<p>As you can see, there are different ways of adapting or creating digital solutions focused on mobile devices, but <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">what are the advantages of the Mobile First philosophy?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the advantages of the Mobile First philosophy is the<strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\"> increase in user participation<\/span><\/strong>.
