How do I make a sticky mobile CTA?
Last checked 31 Aug 2026
Short answer
Ask Lovable to add a fixed bottom bar on mobile only, containing the single most important call-to-action, and make sure it doesn't overlap other fixed elements or block form fields near the bottom of the screen.
What a sticky mobile CTA is for
On mobile, users don't always see a CTA that only appears once in the hero — a fixed bar at the bottom of the screen keeps the primary action (Book now, Buy, Sign up) visible while scrolling, which measurably increases conversions on long pages.
Prompt example
Add a sticky call-to-action bar fixed to the bottom of the screen on mobile only (hidden on desktop), containing just the "Book a call" button. Give the page enough bottom padding that content isn't hidden behind it. Hide it on the contact/booking page itself since the form is already visible there.
Keep it to one action
A sticky CTA works because it's singular and obvious. Don't put a full nav or multiple buttons in it — one primary action, clearly labelled.
Things to check
- Bottom padding added to the page so the CTA doesn't cover the footer or last section's content.
- It doesn't overlap a mobile browser's own UI (address bar, gesture nav) — test on a real device, not just Preview.
- It's hidden or adapted on pages where it doesn't make sense (e.g. a page that already has the form inline).
- Contrast and size are strong enough to tap easily with one thumb (minimum 44px height).
What usually goes wrong
- Forgetting to hide it on desktop, where a bottom bar looks out of place and isn't standard convention.
- Stacking it on top of another fixed element (mobile menu button, cookie banner) without checking for overlap — test with all fixed UI elements present at once.
- Making it too tall, eating meaningful screen space on small phones — keep it compact.

- AnswerHow do I add animations?Ask for specific, subtle animations (fade-in on scroll, hover states, a smooth page transition) rather than "add animations" generally — Lovable can use Tailwind transitions or a library like Framer Motion depending on what you need.
- AnswerHow do I improve accessibility?Ask Lovable to check colour contrast, add alt text to images, ensure keyboard navigation works, and use semantic HTML/ARIA labels — these cover most common accessibility gaps in generated sites without needing a full audit tool.
- AnswerHow do I make a sticky header?Ask Lovable to make the header `fixed` or `sticky` at the top with a defined z-index, and add top padding to the page content equal to the header's height so it isn't hidden underneath.
