I NEED YOUR HELP! Anonymous
I'm designing a website, but its been a few years and I dunno what screen resolution I should make it for: 800x600, 1024x768, or 1280x800. What are your screen resolutions?!

In return for your input, I give you the full-size version of a vector I drew last night.

most designs design for 1024 X 768 since that is what the majority of the population uses. But you should base it off your target audience.

asking that question is doing it wrong. design a layout that will flow and stretch to whatever screen size someone throws at it. a well laid out site will look good on everything from an eee to a 40" widescreen.

note that "good" doesn't necessarily mean "the same". it's fine for the layout to shift around a bit as screen sizes change. the important part is to not make any assumptions at all about your clients.

and I do most of my browsing in a text-only browser, so you're a fair bit more likely to have me visit your site if it's accessible without any images, javascript, flash, etc.

hope that helps.

normally that's what i do, but this is just a mini fansite so the layout is very graphic intensive and wouldn't look right as a typical flowing layout

relevant to my interests... because when I make walls, I like to know what commonly used screen sizes are.

You're absolutely right on the freeflow thing. And generally that method works for just about any website that has needs for dynamic content.

But I just have one comment, on a personal level. With the way computers and bandwidth are these days, using a text-only browser offers no real benefit. Forgive me if I sound pretentious, but there's simply no reason for that kind of an attitude when, generally speaking, multimedia content has become an integral part of the web. Unless you're browsing websites on slackware without a GUI or some shit like that, there's really no room for such elitist add-ins.

Sounds like a really dull, mind-numbing way to surf the web to me. Just saying it's not necessary.

try dinamic. i found this stuff in a forum:
" Put this on the page:

<script language="javascript">
window.location.href = "screen.php?width=" + screen.width + "&height=" + screen.height;
</script>

Then create a file called screen.php and use this:

<?php
$width = $_get['width'];
$height = $_get['height'];

?>"

so the end user gets a page suited to his/her monitor.
