Explaining a common web design mistake from @jessicatatedesign

The creator debunks the common web design practice of using a 1920x1080 resolution.

She argues that this assumption leads to designs that are too wide and concludes by warning designers against this mistake, noting e-commerce sites as a potential exception.
