Probably a UX issue.

Basically, websites are still made like 80's games where the programmers made the art and the design and everything because they just, didn't realize this was the kind of thing that needed thinking about.

Except unlike 80's games, modern websites do a ton of stuff instead of just being able to walk and jump, so this approach of just having some nerd with a CS degree put stuff wherever the hell makes sense to him results in the entire internet being an unusable catastrophe.

UX consultant is a real position, but as with any kind of consultation or advice, it's generally consulted solely so that the person requesting the consultation can feel validated in the garbage they had already decided on, even if the consultation they paid for tells them their garbage is garbage. Instead of UX consultants, full time UX experts should be a part of the team, at an earlier stage in the pipeline than the first prototype. But this doesn't happen because despite how prevalent it is in our lives, the Internet is still in its infancy.
