    Should designs still fit 800*600?

    I haven't made a site in quite a while, and now that I am making one again I am wondering if I should still sacrifice space efficiency for the 800*600 folk.

        stats say that most surfers have a 15 or 17 inch monitor and 800X600 res.

                You can go either ways these days but 800x600 is still the safest

                  That was what I was fearing... such a waste of screen space

                  SCREEN RESOLUTION
                  54% 1024x768 54%
                  28% 800x600 28%
                  10% 1280x1024 10%
                  03% 1152x864 03%
                  01% 640x480 01%
                  <1% 1600x1200 <1%

                      We still make all our designs 800x600

                      If you choose not to, the area outside the 800 pixels should only be used as room for advertisement .. no navigation links etc etc

                        Depends on your site

                        BUt i think you should set it for 1024

                        Surfers still using 800-600 are used to scrolling

                                  Agreed

                                  I don't make designs for 800x600 any more, If a client comes to me wanting one I'll just decline the project and move on.

                                      I would always do them in 800x600, and center them and top align. that way in any other res, they dont look so bad.

                                        That's what I'm doing now, but keeping to a width of 770 leaves room only for a single small links/etc. column next to a main text/pics/blog column.

                                          I keep mine narrower, because I always have trillian running down the side of my screen. So I keep my sites 800 wide at most if possible. Make them center themselves and they'll still look decent.

                                            you should fit 800x600 anyway, because if you have 1024x768 or 1600x1200 youre likely not running your browser maximized and guess what, its probably about 800x600 on your desktop

                                              Pesonally I am getting sick of 800x600. Come on, why are TGPs and Link Lists forcing people to use 800x600 for only 20 percent of the population?? It's a waste of fucking space that could be utilized.

                                              Any site I design for my own use or for anything that does not need to be submitted is designed for 1024x768. Time for the internet's 20% to pony up and learn how to set screen resolutions in the display properties.

                                                Any site I design for my own use or for anything that does not need to be submitted is designed for 1024x768. Time for the internet's 20% to pony up and learn how to set screen resolutions in the display properties.
                                                I hate side-scrolling to view a site. I have a single-monitor setup, so my instant messenger runs down the side of my screen real estate. I have a feeling I'm not alone.

                                                      Either that or they're older people who prefer seeing things well and have plenty of plastic to use.

                                                        go to the store and see what is on the shelf, if a surfer can't afford a decent monitor McD's isn't payin him enough to join your site either.

                                                        the real reason for 800x600 is the people who reveiw galleries and free sites can't afford any better because the job just don't pay that much, so if you want to get listed don't piss them off and make them fell bad cause they think their job is very important.

                                                        and that is the truth.

                                                          what irks me is sites that are not centered, while it may look full-screen 800x600 to you, on widescreen it looks aligned left.
