| Is it the most common scenario in development? Seems to me you've got it backwards. You've confused consumers of websites with numbers of developers. For example I see far more job adverts for internal tools developers, which are going to be by and large desktop only, than mobile-first website developers. So I'd have thought the number of desktop only web app developers vastly outnumber the number of mobile-first web developers. I think you're wrong with the word 'some'. Most is the word you should be looking for. Don't forget you're emulating a phone without touch. It's useful, but it's only part of a mobile testing process. So you're making what is a fairly broken process the 'focus', which seems pretty odd. Mobile is also feature poor compared to desktop so generally needs less testing. It's the less intense part of any site because of the form factor. That's why you're not playing Fallout 4 on your mobile, you've got a little companion app for it instead. Finally, for most mobile websites there will be a desktop only admin section. And it's desktop only because it has huge tables, with lots of sortable columns. On multiple pages. Common admin interfaces found in any website or app. So while a desktop site can often exist without a mobile component, it's rare for a website to exist without a desktop component. |
