I have often wondered the same question as Jakob Nielsen posed in his newsletter back in May 2011: "why when a computer screen's precious pixels are the world's most valuable real
estate do most companies squander it." I had hoped that as we moved to greater use of the mobile web that it would focus the minds of designers - but no.
I think Mr Nielsen's words say it all....
Normally, when something is extremely valuable,
you try to conserve it. But screen space shouldn't be hoarded, it should be
spent. I see too many designs that cram highly valuable content or action
items into tiny spaces while wasting vast amounts of screen space.
