It drives me crazy that even though huge, wide computer screens are completely ubiquitous, there seems to be a whole generation of UX designers that only ever use (and therefore only ever develop) full-screen applications.
It's like they learned to compute on an iPad and then use the same mental model for every other device they encounter.
- MattGaiser 7y agoUX designers are appealing to their customer, who wants to see something which is very pretty on the big screen they use to present their work. They get paid for wow during the presentation, not for anything else. A friend of mine hired a UX designer for her startup and the entire main page will soon look like a beautiful poster. But it is utterly horrendous on mobile, which is where 60% of the traffic is. Not to mention that it is now littered with images that are going to make page load times horrible. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
