Making, and indeed hosting, your own website doesn't sound easy - and that's coming from my perspective as someone who was using the Internet before the World Wide Web was rolled out (it was easy until about 2002 when all you needed was basic html and a static IP).

That's why I appreciate the hosting here at Fandom and why I continue to edit, design and hopefully generate enough ad revenue for them to not consider FFXIclopedia a drain on their resources, if that was something they even measure.

As I said, I'm sure they're doing a great job for those sites that work well with a mobile interface, but I dispute that the generalization that mobile optimized sites provide a better experience than a desktop-viewed one applies to FFXIclopedia and other 'Game Guides'.

What I don't understand is the rationale that every site *must* have a mobile version, optimized or not. On the surface it sounds like a misplaced badge of honour (EVERY SITE IS MOBILE!). The only other thing I can suppose is this concept of homogeneity where all FANDOM sites have a similar experience, so fans of Game of Thrones can seamlessly drift into the Marvel pages and back across to the Walking Dead without experiencing a jarring transition. If that's the case, the people making such decisions need to understand that the type of content differs between sites, requiring different execution.
