Hi Jenni, You have already received some good advice, but I'd like to add my two cents. I think 1200px a bit ambitious - many of those lovely new netbooks display at 1024 pixels wide. A popular size these days seems to be 960px - my browsers are all set around 1,000px wide because of this, despite having a 1680px wide screen. Liquid or elastic designs can be difficult, especially if you have a designer who does not understand the Web. I suggest getting the book "Flexible Web Design" by Zoe Gillenwater to educate your designer on this. FWIW - I assist at a computer training workshop. A number of students set the resolution to 800 by 600 "to make the text bigger." I imagine that's what they do at home, too.
