Good day all,
We are all in the daily struggle of catering for the wide range of audience when we design websites. There are many important factors which one has to think about, and consider before starting the process of creating a site.
Specifically in this thread, I would like to know what other coders out there say about screen resolutions. Which screen resolution is the most general and popularly used? When you create a site, for which resolution do you primarily cater?
As an example :
You are running on a very high resolution such as 1152x864 and you see everything on your screen very small. But what happens when you create a page with a 1000px width and a user with a 1024x768 resolution visits your site. Or even imagine 800x600. The display and layout of your site won't be affected, but obviously the browser will create scrollbars.............which are annoying. The page will also seem oversize (images, text, etc)
What do you guys recommend???
