UX Note: Bootstrap's Bigger Buttons are Better
For a long time (years, in fact), the Web as we knew it was a tiny place. Not the Internet itself, but the window through which we experienced it. When half the world's users were on browsers that couldn't stretch past 800 pixels, it made sense to shrink things like buttons and type down. Or, rather, small was the normal. As designers we never really had the opportunity to consider big.
Today, we're constrained by even smaller screens. But that's a good thing, because it's finally teaching us that size matters in interaction design. Things that are important should be bigger. Things we frequently click on have to be bigger. Take the example by the folks at Twitter who created a new development framework called Bootstap. This button is huge. There's no doubt about where to click and no effort required to do so. Simple. Obvious. Comfy.
