Mobile version of a website is a stripped down version. I fail to wrap my brain around the fact that a 'desktop website' would be a mobile site with added content.
To me you design both versions. I really think mobile first ideology was born out of ppl disregarding the importance of mobile users, nowadays you are literally retarded if you discard mobile users.
Well , this is an interesting opinion my friend .. however, the other reason I mentioned was about making the work a mobile oriented, which means the mobile version is our first and most important goal because people are more likely to use their mobiles .. and it doesn't really mean that the mobile version is a stripped down version ..but I myself in my beginnings made a website for a contracting company starting from the desktop website .. but when I started working on the mobile site I started deciding which feature should I sacrifice to fit the screen and that was painful because loosing 80% of the screen width is not easy
I think mobile first was created to force people to think about whats important on the website and whats not. Whats important is content and it has to be everywhere - mobile, desktop, whatever. If something is not important enough to be on mobile, its safe to skip everywhere.
Thats how i always explained mobile first to myself - stripping bloat. But im extremist when it comes to removing bloat so maybe im too biased.
Exactly .. that's what I tried to say about choosing the important features , but you can see the use of the desktop screen size in many websites .. maybe the unimportant features would be a photo gallery, more ads on the right and left sides. Even in google right now there is a game in the logo that you can play by click the logo, but in the mobile site, clicking the logo will redirect you to another page to play there, so you can see how google made use of the desktop screen
