Mobile-First Optimization Strategies for Retailers

1. Designing for the Mobile Thumb Zone

/* Modern Responsive Component with Container Queries */
.product-card-container {
  container-type: inline-size;
  container-name: productCard;
}

@container productCard (min-width: 400px) {
  .product-card {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr;
    gap: 16px;
  }
}
