What to change
Ask the supplier to adapt persistent interface elements to the available height as well as width.
A worked example
Illustrative example
A visitor can read a full form question in landscape because the tall navigation area stops occupying a permanent portion of the small viewport.
How to check the result
Accept when the available reading and interaction space remains useful throughout the task, including while typing or viewing errors.
A mistake to avoid
A layout that responds only to screen width can incorrectly treat a short landscape phone as a spacious desktop screen.
Your action checklist
Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
