Who should adapt the site to different monitor resolutions?

Question

Layout

There is a ready-made design on Figma. Page resolutions are 1920x1080, but according to statistics, such monitors use 28%. prnt.sc/26urqev The layout designer made the design for 1920x1080 and at 1660 resolution part of the site is no longer visible at all, but I want to fix it. The coder said that he needed to contact the designer in order for him to make a version of the site with a lower width. Is this really true or should the layout designer adapt the site?

Answer 1

The coder does not owe anything to anyone by default just like that. If you are ready to pay, negotiate the terms, and everything will be done for you. Most likely, in your case, the layout fell into the hands of not the best performer. Not every performer can work without a layout. But to leave it so that at 1600 something did not fit into the screen is wildness.

Answer 2

Strange design and strange coder. For the same Bootstrap, the maximum width of the container for XXL size is 1320 pixels. That is, on a typical FullHD (1920x1080) today, it occupies the central part of the screen, leaving margins from left to right. Similarly here on the toaster - the content is limited to a width of 1440 pixels.
Here, in general, the main question is: how did you negotiate with the layout designer? Was there an adaptive layout in the requirements for it? Has this issue been discussed at all? Because if they gave him a layout and said: "here, do it like on the layout" - the layout designer did it based on the fact that the customer knows what he wants.
Now about who should adapt the layout to a lower resolution. Depends on what needs to change. If there is just a decrease in the width of the columns - this is one thing, the layout designer can do this too, if you clearly set the task for him what and how should change. If more complex things start there, for example, “we show this block on small screens not here, but here”, “these blocks should not be next to each other, but under each other”, “we hide this block altogether, display it if the user presses on the button" - this, of course, requires a full-fledged layout and the designer should develop it.

Answer 3

You got a low-skilled performer. Or lazy.
In our time, when the vast majority of traffic is mobile traffic, the mention of adaptive layout in the requirements is redundant. It's like a matter of course.
Yes, ideally, design layouts for different resolutions should be prepared by a designer. But the layout designer must in any case ensure that the page is displayed adequately on any device from a mobile phone to a monitor. If there were no special reservations, he can make an adaptive at his discretion or, on his own initiative, discuss options with the customer.
