A good example for a really bad design. Of course you must provide an
alternative version for mobile devices in this case.

The "desktop" version uses a fixed page width wich will not fit to 1024
pixels horizontally. It makes sense to limit the width of text, but the
layout should still allow smaller screens too.

The "desktop" version consist of dozens of single CSS and JSON files and
about 2.4 MB of data and thenextweb.com doesn't support compression.
