The layout optimization for mobile devices stands as a critical requirement because nowadays, the cell phones generate most website traffic. What approach can you implement to deliver the best user experiences for mobile phone users.
 
I've been working on my own blog and some other sites for a while, but I still have a desktop perspective when designing them.

I'll have everything laid out the way I wanted it but then checking it on mobile, I realize how messy and unorganized it comes across. One major thing I keep in mind is the use of images, since sometimes it looks great on desktop but not on mobile. Responsive images is key here.
 
One of the easiest ways to do it is by using mobile responsive templates. These days most website template come up with mobile responsive design. Also, you need to avoid embedding a lot of media.
 
I simply don't use forum and blog themes that are not incredibly mobile responsive. Note: I've seen some themes that are halfway responsive, but that's not good enough. I saw on the jcink platform, and I commented politely that it wasn't good enough.
 
The best way really is to buy a theme. This websites theme was made by pixel exit and uses the theme bolt with custom edits like the cafe style brown color and so forth.

Also the CSS tag @media is something I recommend learning and searching in google as quick edits in your additional css file (extra.less for Xenforo 2) could easily fix any mobile issue your having. XF2 right out the box is responsive though.
