its just that for 10 years there is nothing that moves regading
screen sizes and accesability have to follow the smallest standard
size in order to not be refused by visitors.
I can't see why, since we can make our designs adapt to available space.
We just have to design them that way.
I dont think it work like that any longer, and HEY people need to buy
screens and upgrade for god sake!!!
My 3840 wide screen-view/resolution is wide enough for most sites to fit
in, but I design the base for the more average 640 - 1280 window-width.
Then I go back and evaluate those same designs for <170 - >600
window-width, so I can keep up with the progress in 'small screen
rendering'. There are so many people who buy those small screen devices
these days, and I don't want to be left behind :-)
Do you all think im wrong... should we all drive around in a VW
beetle 1963 because the roads in some countries on this planet arent
good enough to drive with a LADA??? some roads will never even be
used but they are still on the map!! refffer that to people that will
never use their cars as computers never will be bought....Now you
might got my point...
Yeah, but I prefer an off-road convertible so I can drive where I want
whenever I want. And, of course, there are a few more vehicles around -
just in case.
The same with web designs and screens and window-width... as a
convertible site can get get further. Some solutions are of course
created for special purposes - just in case.
As a former software/hardware developer: I also had to develop for
users/clients wants and needs back then - or else it wouldn't sell.
There are not all that many more restrictions in web design - it just
has to sell.
