I designed for 1280 pix wide.
Interesting. I used to set my pages at 800 wide (to accommodate people
on older monitors) but have since widened out to 1000 pixels. I figure
anything that makes it easier on the viewer means more likely to return.
About 50% of web surfers worldwide are using 1024 x 768 monitors (down
from 60% a couple of years ago). It's still the most common monitor
resolution setting and it's the recommended "design target" for web
designers. Of course, smart designers will try to accommodate everything
from 800 x 600 up, but your page should be made to look best around 1024
x 768. h
Those using smaller screen resolutions constitute a pretty small
minority and all the rest are using larger sizes. But even many of those
with big monitors run their web browser at smaller-than-full-screen.
Jakob Nielsen is the authority on this stuff and his site is required
reading for serious web designers:
