Mobile, Tutorials & SEO

This update brings full mobile support, a new tutorial system, a critical pricing fix, and SEO improvements across all tool pages.

Mobile UX

Melies now works properly on mobile devices with a responsive layout, touch gestures, and a new navigation menu.

  • Hamburger menu for mobile header navigation
  • Gallery toolbar optimized for small screens
  • Touch gestures for swipe navigation and pinch-to-zoom on image galleries
  • Responsive layouts across all tool pages

Default Video Model Fix

Free users are now defaulted to LTX 2 Pro (50 credits) instead of Veo 3.1 (400+ credits). Previously, free users with 50 credits couldn't generate a single video with the default model. This change unblocks the entire video funnel for new signups.

Tutorial System

  • New tutorial card component added to 15 landing pages, linking to relevant guides and walkthroughs
  • Consistent Character tutorial published with step-by-step guide and YouTube video embed
  • YouTube video player added to bottom CTA sections with play button overlay

SEO Optimization

  • Front-loaded "Free" in tool page titles for voice generator, storyboard, lip sync, and image enhancer. All competitors lead with "Free" and Bing data showed 5,500+ impressions with near-zero clicks when "Free" was buried at the end.
  • Merged voice pages into a single /ai-voice-generator page (301 redirect from /ai-voiceover-generator). Two pages were cannibalizing each other for the same keywords.
  • Added Veo credits FAQ to pricing documentation for search queries about Veo pricing.
