We can all learn a lot about responsive design from Supermicro, it seems 🙃

    I remember the times getting a 1920x1080 meant all websites will be left aligned with a max width

    @JoshBent or something about 680px on the left with unused space to the right

    The website looks like it’s last updated since 2000ish

    No dev budget = site ages quickly.

    SMC, like most enterprise-facing vendors, can't be bothered to do modern things with its website. They're a "sales in person" company. If anything, high functionality from the website would make the luddite executives they interact with get nervous about flashy lights, and possibly go with a competitor.

    body {
    max-width:50%;
    }

    @xkill

    More like:

    <TABLE WIDTH="800PX">

    "What's sea assess?"

    <edited to make px uppercase too, because '90s era HTML editors loved uppercase.>

    @bahua I accidentally read that as "sea asses" and realized that I might need some sleep.. 😅

    And I mean, sure SMC is aimed at enterprise but is it really to be expected for a 2000's website, probably statically designed for those old 1024x768 CRT monitors, displaying something like IE6 on Windows XP.. to be in any way good, or better than a nice modern and responsive website..? I mean, aside from appealing to those (probably old?) execs.

    Again. Why don't people just use percentages in CSS?

    The margin auto centered on Edge, IE, Firefox, chrome, chrome canary. Are you using ie6?

    @sunfishcc Firefox, on 2560x1080 resolution. Why on Earth would I be using IE6? I'm not *that* masochistic.

    Also the link was https://supermicro.com/en/..., not the homepage or anything like that.

    @Parzi aren't direct percentages outdated and we should use vh wh etc?

    @Emphiliis I use percents, but the last CSS thing I did was like '13 so maybe it's been deprecated
