A small Framer habit that saves me hours: I build the mobile breakpoint first, then scale up.
Most people design desktop, then fight to squeeze it into 390px at the end. Flip it. Lay out mobile first with a clean stack and real content, then add columns and breathing room as the screen grows. Auto-layout does the heavy lifting and the desktop almost designs itself.
Two knock-on wins: my type scale stays honest because small screens punish oversized headings, and clients open the site on their phone first, so the view they judge me on is the one I built with the most care.
What is your default, desktop-first or mobile-first?
