I am new to web design. Can someone tell me the correct dimension of a background image to ensure maximum visibility when the site is opened?

    The simple answer to your question is No.

    I think what you're asking is how to display your complete background image, regardless of the screen resolution of your visitors. If that is the case, you can't do it. Images do not resize themselves dynamically. You just have to pick a size & design your page to display it properly (or vice versa).

    Aronya is right. Now, while I've never tried it, you might be able to set your background size to a percentage rather than a set size. I don't really suggest that though.

    A better option that has gained popularity is to center your website. Once you've done that pick a nice seamless repeating patter that spans the width of a users browser, no matter what size they are viewing. Try fading out the bottom of the graphic into a solid color. Set that solid color into your CSS bgcolor. It's a cheap trick but it makes your 900px website appear larger than it is.

    The dimensions of any image is up to you, so I suppose you should just go with what looks good! Bigger image equals more visibility. Pretty straight forward.
