Hey warriors, [intro], I've been doing HTML and some CSS for a few years but never got into IM, ....until now. I realized, I already have the foundation for this and it looks like something I may enjoy alot.

Anyway, I've noticed everyone is using what appears to be 800 as the standard header and table size for you're landing and sales pages. I have a few sites like this as well. I'm just wondering what the remaining logic is for this in the world of wide screens.

    Although there are wider screens available the most current screen width is 1024 there are still people out there with screens that are 800 wide. Since these are still prospective customers, it is worth considering them because they represent sales, so its worth avoiding a horizontal scroll bar.

      I can accept that. Thanks for the feedback Susan. Cntrl + or - will resize most browser's today . However, if the subject is still using 800 then they probably do not know that. I like the way 800 looks myself.

        New here myself.

        I usually keep it at around 780px allowing for the scroll bar in some browsers.

        Cheers,
        Vic Franks.

    I would try and keep your designs less than 800 wide. Most all of the designs in my collection are smaller than 800px.

    That way you are sure your LP to be easily seen by the majority of computer screens out there.

    Css,

    The most important element when talking about web page width is screen resolution. Minimum accepted resolution is 1024 x 768 px, but when building a web page maximum width is 980 px, due to right scroll bar and left and right margin.

    I prefer flexible web page width because it corresponds widely distributed wide screens.

    Very simple, it has become a convention in mini-site design. Like having a logo at the top left and a navigation right near it.

    This has just the standard for mini-sites, you can break this but you may see that it might not look much like a mini-site anymore
