For Designers/Developers
We, the designers and developers of the Web, too have to make the same
concession our clients do and surrender the effort to craft the same exact
presentation and experience across the vast spectrum of platforms and
devices. This is not an easy idea to give up for a lot of those playing in
these fields, but as has been already mentioned, we are allowing so much
potential to be wasted. We could be taking the Web to new heights, but we
allow ourselves to get hung up on who gets left behind in the process —
and as a result we all end up getting left behind. Rather than viewing them
as separate audiences and approaching them individually, so to speak, we
allow the limitations of one group to limit us all.
