How to Edit Desktop and Mobile Views Separately in HighLevel
Do you ever change an element on your website, forget about it, then a week later check it on your phone — and all the formatting is gone?
Frustrating, right?
Whether it’s a button off-centre, a block of text squashed into one line, or an image that’s suddenly the size of a postage stamp, these layout issues can make even the best-looking page feel amateur.
The good news is: HighLevel lets you edit the desktop and mobile views independently.
It’s a powerful feature — and when used properly, it makes your websites, funnels, and emails look polished across every screen.
Why Device-Specific Editing Matters
A layout that looks fantastic on a laptop can be overwhelming or broken on a mobile.
The opposite is also true — a clean mobile layout may look too bare on a desktop.
Rather than trying to find a ‘one size fits all’ compromise, HighLevel allows you to design tailored experiences for each device type.
Switching Between Views
Inside the HighLevel builder (funnels, websites and emails), look for the little device toggle at the top — usually with icons for desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Click these to switch views. You’ll then be able to:
Preview exactly how your design looks
Make changes that only apply to that view
What You Can Edit Independently
Here are the most useful changes you can make on a per-device basis:
Font Size
Scale down heading and body text for mobile readability without affecting your desktop layout.
Padding and Margins
Adjust spacing so your content breathes well on smaller screens — especially useful for stacked layouts.
Column Stacking
Columns often stack vertically on mobile. You can tweak how this looks or hide entire rows or columns on a specific device.
Element Visibility
Want to show a big flashy CTA on desktop but a simplified button on mobile? No problem — just go to the Advanced > Responsive settings and toggle visibility for each device.
This also Applies to Emails
One of the lesser-known features in HighLevel is that even emails can be edited independently for desktop and mobile views.
This is especially helpful when building email nurture campaigns or any automated email marketing.
Why it matters:
You can adjust font sizes for smaller screens
Tweak spacing so mobile readers aren’t overwhelmed
Hide or rearrange elements to create a better mobile flow
With so many people opening emails on their phone, it makes sense to design with that in mind — and HighLevel makes it easy.
Top Tip: Design for Mobile First (Then Enhance for Desktop)
We typically recommend starting your layout in mobile view.
Why?
Because most users see your content on a phone first. Once you’ve created a clean, clear mobile version, you can switch to desktop and add any enhancements — background images, multi-column layouts, or extra visual elements.
It’s easier to scale up than to scale down.
Final Thought
Poor mobile formatting can kill your conversions — whether it’s a funnel page, a landing page, or a nurture email.
But with HighLevel’s independent view editing, you’ve got all the tools to build responsive, professional layouts that adapt beautifully to every screen.
No more design surprises. No more lost leads.
