Would you say more people have their monitors set to 800 x 600 or rather 1024 x 768? It's important to me. http://www.plaquesandletters.com/ looks just fine in 800 x 600, terribly disjointed otherwise. Thanks in advance.

Hello Don,
The younger the eyes the higher the resolution. What age is your target audiance? That should be the main driving force in your design. Personally, I try to design to use the full screen no matter what resolution the user has.
Hi John,
Personally, I try to design to use the full screen no matter what resolution the user has as well. And my users range from MTV--literally--to VH1 to Lawrence Welk. I've fixed my Homepage so that it looks at least OK even with the higher resolution monitors. Now I just need to do the same for 230 other f**** pages. Mainly using %'s instead of pixels. Once again, if anyone knows some % breakdown of 800 x 600 users vs 1024 vs 768 that would be appreciated.
Don
PS: My pages were "filled" i.e. no big block of color over to the right for high rez like some do. It's just that before I make my pixels-to-%s's transition my scrolling marquees and blip&glow-hover-buttons-within-colored-tables look stupid.
The best choice for that is the stats page that your server should provide you. If not, then xara has a little addition you can throw on your site to calculate all that stuff for you, including screen res. See xaraonline
It is an offsite counter, so if xara has net problem so will your site. That is the only downside.
John I would marry you but........

Thanks Egg. Someone sent me that quite pertinant link this weekend. It's very good (if accurate) info. It's a bit heartbreaking to have created my website not knowing that. And just when I thought I was putting the finishing touches on it. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif Before anyone opines "a website is never done", yes I know. But at least I was reaching a significant plateau.
Don
if your prices are reasoanble, then your customers will be continually changing there's. I have been trying to finish my first site since '97 I think. Change this then change that, every six months or so.
""if your prices are reasoanble, then your customers will be continually changing there's.""? Pardon? My customers will be changing their prices? Websites? Regardless, I don't see the connection.
Don,
What I was trying to say was, If you charge an affordable rate, Then your customers will be able to afford to change their site more often. Which will mean the site is never really done on their part either. You will get one large modification done, and they walk in the door with 2 other modifications. In between, they call with a correction here or there and an update to a name or number. Bottom Line, if the site makes money for the client, "a website is never done".
