I just branded it the left design because it is all left aligned. While I was developing my website, I spent a considerable amount of time thinking about the design. My mental crux had never been the position of information or content identification, rather how to present it decently, which also needed to be responsive and developed by me. I started with a usual centered design, using a classic container. However, I did not like the final result. It was terrible from time to time.

I was thinking about why so much complexity. We read left-to-right. Why wasting space with horizontal margins imposed by centered container? Moreover, I am not aware that the F-shaped reading pattern has been retired or been flagged as all wrong. Thus, I went back to basics. I used a container, aligned left and with my content aligned left too. On a normal external display, it works very well. If the user resizes the browser's window on the horizontal axis, the text does not move, as it is already aligned and the user can simply get the right of the empty site on the right. This may not work as a standard pattern. If the user has a wide screen, like those new curved displays, where the horizontal space is massive, and the open the website at full screen, the expectation to have the content in the center is not met. Anyhow, I want to think nobody uses a display in that way, given that the very common pattern is to scroll vertically, not horizontally 🙂. Instead, on a mobile device, there is no problem. The content is aligned on the left, but no space is left empty. The footer is instead centered, to allow an easy interaction for both left and right-handed users. Ultimately, I am not a user interface designer, but still quite proud of the final result. I wanted to share the approach I took, as I am aware it could be flagged as unconventional and wrong. This is because it does not follow the now standard pattern.
