cheap.
Funny thing is, I've seen a LOT of generic-template sites that look &
feel WAY better than the "mobile first"-style ones.
I'm still a little bit irked that Linode ditched their formerly
fantastic homepage for yet-another-useless-PITA-mobile-first-style homepage.
Even ignoring all subjective and objective specifics of the style, the
mere concept of designing a site "mobile-first (and desktop if we ever
feel like it, as it usually turns out)" is entirely inappropriate for
websites relating to software development - a field which even today
still takes place almost entirely on desktop/laptop, not phone or tablet.
The site is the epitome of inappropriate:
«This site is optimized with the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin»
Sometimes I'm truly amazed by the lengths people will go JUST to contort
WordPress into whatever not-remotely-related purpose they have in mind.
It's like being the only carpenter in the world who uses a hammer
instead of stringing up a frozen pizza to the end of a rubber squeeze toy.
