| Sep 13, 2016 at 15:45 | comment | added | DA01 | @nocomprende I hear what you are saying, but it's an idealistic and unrealistic view. Users aren't universally reasonable. Furthermore, it's completely reasonable for people to assume they can use a web tool regardless of the device they happen to be using. You seem to want to argue with the customer that they are being silly for using a mobile device to get work done online. That's a rather ridiculous stance to take as a UX person. It's a rather typical stance to take as an enterprise software developer, which is why so many people get frustrated with a lot of enterprise software. :) | |
| Sep 13, 2016 at 13:51 | comment | added | user67695 | @DA01 I think that the argument with validity is "what would a reasonable person do?" If the site is not suitable to a mobile scenario, then no reasonable person will try to do that, and we can say to anyone who does: "the site was not designed for mobile use." We don't watch cinemascope through a keyhole, and no reasonable person would give it a moment's thought. If the problem is that people are no longer reasonable, then I guess that would be a new Question? | |

| Sep 8, 2016 at 13:55 | comment | added | Andre Dickson | @nocomprende good point. I tried to stay away from taking a side for the reason that we only have one side of the story. But going through the exercise, of following the suggestions made, should help the OP encounter points that both support and oppose his own. | |
