Website design

[Tanis8472]

Why are a lot of websites using the bleedin google elements design.
Its bloody infuriating having to scroll down pages to find what I am looking for.
What's so hard about making a website using XML and style-sheets etc for tablet/mobile and PC's separately.
I have a 1920x1080 monitor and 80% must be wasted space.


Grrrrrr

and breathe

You are allowed to have more than one window open! I don't understand why people expect every website to be optimised for their bizarre huge browser window... but elements is especially bad.

I'll nominate websites that set only a text or background colour and just ASSUME everyone uses black on white and hates their eyes. EBay is probably the biggest website making that mistake today.

No text, which is what the eye is drawn to, as its our primary way of interacting with sites.
Pictures don’t convey the same information.

Each to their own, but I hate it. It works fine (sort of) on a mobile as the screens are small.
