Design question - surfers still use 800x600? - GoFuckYourself.com

DirtyRider · 03-29-2006, 10:16 PM

Just looking at some of my stats and it seems that only 18% of people are using 800x600 and looks like most are over 1024x768. Anyone here have a free site that is wider then 800 pixels? Just wondering how many people are designing free sites now over 800 pixels wide.

most are using the next notch up, 1024

Yeah i was thinking of doing it either way, just not sure how pissed surfers get with using the left and right scroll bars :D

I had a site that was at 1024, a few days ago, I redid it for 800 and my prod went from 350% down to 220%... needless to say, I changed it back to 1024

some stats from today

1024x768 - 6506
800x600 - 1696
1280x1024 - 1374
1280x800 - 540
1152x864 - 433

I design everything for 1024x768 nowadays - let the 800x600'ers scroll around.

DirtyRider · 03-29-2006, 10:50 PM

Yeah thanks for all the info guys!

Someone brought up a good point to me and its that the 18% or whatever it is that are using 800X600 still might result in my loosing out in clicks to ads or whatever on the right side.

littledragon thats a crazy drop! Maybe i'll make a bigger version of the site when i get the balls

For now i guess i might stick 800 :-\

littledragon · 03-29-2006, 11:42 PM

do what I'm doing for my next site, I'm gonna design it in both 800 and 1024. Use each for a few days and see what the prod is, then use the one with the higher prod.

1024x768 is the way to go

c-lo · 03-30-2006, 12:04 AM

I'd use 1024x768 if I were you. Currently I'm only getting around 12 - 16% visitors with a resolution smaller than 1024x768. If you've got the time, do both, as littledragon suggested...that way everyone's happy & you reach maximum sales potential.

I meant do what littledragon suggested, but don't erase it after you're done. Keep em both up permanently & give surfers an option.

Design for 1024, but keep it centered, then it still looks ok in other resolutions...
