Are websites now being designed primarily with mobile devices in mind?

Slate changed to this design some months ago. The blocky design is quite fitting with a mobile touch screen device, but the site is more awkward to navigate now with a traditional computer.

Notice the removal of the mouse-clickable (but non-ipad friendly) categories on the top.

I notice the same thing with The New Republic's website.

Do you always post in The Diner or do you actually like classical music? Who are some of your favorite composers? What are some of your favorite works by said composers?

Time to get you out of The Diner.

The Diner is the heart and soul of GMG.

Are websites now being designed primarily with mobile devices in mind?

Actually, yes. The current trend is to design for "mobile first", and make progressive enhancements for desktop as opposed to earlier "graceful degradation" or creating a separate, streamlined interface for mobile. The percentage of visits from mobile devices is steadily increasing.

I see now why you prefer to post in "The Diner."

Fully would agree with this, if this site was called "Good Dining Guide".
