The Negative Impact of Mobile-First Web Design on Desktop
Summary: Mobile-first web designs can cause significant usability issues when viewed on desktops. Content becomes overly dispersed across long scrolling pages with expansive white space and enlarged images and fonts, making it difficult for users to consume and understand the information. This design trend, known as content dispersion, increases cognitive load, interaction costs, and user frustration, while decreasing trustworthiness. However, in some cases, content dispersion can positively impact user experience by highlighting complex information or high-value imagery.
