[QUOTE="Third Row, post: 452105, member: 3823"] In layman's terms, almost everyone used to have small computer screens (800x600). That meant that it was best to design for small computer screens so that those people would not have to scroll across the screen to see your entire site. Over time, people have upgraded their computer monitors and the small screens became the minority in late 2001. As of the most recent statistical reports, fewer than 16% of people are on the small, 800x600 computer screen. This means you can add more content to your pages with wider websites without making people scroll horizontally. Many of the largest sites on the Internet such as Yahoo, Microsoft, Amazon, CNN, and Ebay have already switched to the wider layouts. A large portion of industry experts on web usability, including the man that's written most of the best selling books on the subject, have changed their opinion and now say designing wider websites or dynamic width websites is the best idea. [b]Bottom line, if you are having a website designed and your designer tells you that 800x600 is "the standard", don't listen to them.[/b] Regarding the thread... The discussion/argument has been a systems analyst who attended a few conferences with old information on web design (DiamondSCattleCo) trying to tell somebody who makes their living on websites that the old standard is somehow "the" standard. He's doing it without providing any sources, is just making stuff up, and he is contradicted by those he claims sets the standard. [/QUOTE]
