Retronym: computer website

[victor steinbok]

My money was on "full site" and "standard site/page". The reason I did
not include "full page" there is because it already has a different
denomination--viewing a full story, as opposed to multiple "folds".
Many news sites require you to click through multiple pages to get
full text and not all of them have a "full page" or "complete page"
option (e.g., ABC News doesn't).

A lot of mobile pages tend to be simply stripped of most HTML code and
images, but not entirely of all the ads. Plus there is now
differentiation between tablet-version pages and other mobile-version
pages (i.e., for "smart phones"). I wonder if there is going to be a
further split between "full" mobile pages (i.e., partially stripped
pages that preserve relevant images) and "compact" mobile pages (e.g.,
the ones for WaPo stories).
