Recent rant about hipster styled mobile-first websites which actually look awful on a desktop PC reminded me of this. How is this a good UX if I have to zoom out your page every single time? C'mon, I am not blind ffs!

You want some relevant info? How about a video that takes 90% of your screen instead?

    sorry I have a tiny "Retina™ Display" It's actually super high def on my iPad Air, obviously you're using a windows pc that has large fat ugly pixels.

    @rozzzly since when retina is a resolution? and since when if you use a pc does it means you have fat ugly pixels?

    sent from my 4K touch screen Dell XPS 15 with 32gb of RAM (one year old and better than new macbook "pro")

    Also white text on light background = hard to read
    Dark text on dark background = hard to read
    White text with black outline = read on anything

    Things to keep in mind:

    Are you their target audience you?
    Do they, as a business, get more traffic on mobile than desktop?

    That being said
    ALSO keep in mind:
    Are they just following watered down trends?
    Are they hosted on square space? Sorry not sorry for the typical full width video background with a ghost navigation, big & centered font?
