Personal Consumer Issues • Re: Vanguard website succumbs to "Fisher-Price" UI design

. . . I was always under the impression the simplified UI, complete with all its expanses of empty space, was designed more for the benefit of those who use their phones to do their investing and banking. I certainly don't do that, and really can't imaging getting comfortable with it — ever. I just wish they would figure out how to format their pages to adapt to different devices, rather than forcing those of us who use desktops for investing and banking to adapt to the spartan, "dumbed down" UI that's been optimized for a relatively tiny screen.
I have heard this theory before, but I assume programmers are capable of designing different UI's for a phone than a computer screen. It simply doesn't seem logical :mrgreen: that Vanguard or any financial company would design a single UI then need to squish it down to a phone screen. Actually, all my financial companies, including Vanguard, have UI's that look different on my big home computer screen than on their app on my cell phone.

I suspect that someone at Vanguard, or the team that put the Fisher-Price UI together, thought it looked modern and worked well :annoyed
