Whats your favorites site resolution????

#1

Just trying to get a feeling about this be fore I dive head first into commiting to a certian size.
To me I prefer a site in a new window at 640X480,I dont like it taking over the browser window or taking over the whole monitor.
So do you have some suggestions for this?
I know you can limit it to the browser window but I really like sites running flash to remain small.

most people on the internet use 800X600 so you should build your site to what most people can view

I agree, I like flash intros to be at the most 800x600, yet I like sites to be 1024x768.

It does depend a lot on the content, but with flash as you often need to see the whole window 800/600 is fine.

You’d be surprised how many ppl also use 1024768 actually… probably because they own a monitor like mine… which only goes to maximum of 1024768 with 85hz… I caa go higher, but it flickers because the refresh rate for 1280 only goes to 60hz. :frowning:

For Flash sites a maximum of 800*600 sounds good to me too. :thumbsup:

Your best bet is to put a tracker on your site, run the site for a couple of months, then adjust it to the most common screen size.

That, or use cutsie techniques that enlarge or reduce your site so window size isnt a big issue. However, it does tend to be a bit undone when someone shrinks the window so small that it interferes with the look of the site.

The tracker I use for my site is
Extreme Tracker

And it is free.
