When building my application should i build the page for mobile then allow it to scale up for desktop? Should i have a separate page for mobile? How should i build the app so it best suits both platforms? (Desktop and mobile)

You could make a desktop version and thinned version for mobile (think Netflix)

Or make the entire thing as a mobile first, responsive app. That’s my preferred choice. Seems easier to scale pages up rather than down.
