Optimal website resolution?

[bani-banan]

Basically what the title says.

I've been a photoshop addict. With a few clients (shocking, right?)

I feel that having a website these days is a crucial thing. Partially because it's the way people can get a-hold of you 24/7.

BUT! What's the resolution I ought to be creating my website in?

1920x1080 is a baaaad, baad resolution ( Wouldn't want to make that mistate again)

Any tips here for a newbie? Talking basic HMTL layout.


Btw, GoDaddy sucks fucking ass. Just registred a domain there and it was slow, full of unwanted ads and a lot of other bullshit!

*cough*

You can do an express checkout that skips all that BS

Any tips here for a newbie? Talking basic HMTL layout.If you are coding to an "optimal resolution" you should be shot.

Websites should scale nicely from 800x600 (pretty much minimum useful size) up to 1024x768 (note: not "widescreen") and beyond.

It is people that have relied upon doing pretty layout in photoshop that they then chop up into frame elements that destroy the surfng experience.

lulz. The design is only going to be in photoshop. The coding is a nother story. Just fancy icons and an attractive head.

Optimal resolution is probably the wrong question. I just don't want people scrolling to the right all of the time :)

My advice as a webdesigner. Basic html will not make a website look good even with awesome graphics. Learn CSS first, I have links. Just know that a website can look pretty and have nothing worthwhile on it. Kind of like a hot blonde with no brains!

It always works for me:)

You should design the website for 1024x768 since that is the most widely used resolution out there. But, you should make the layout fluid so it can scale/expand on larger screens, like I did with my website. (http://travislopes.com/)

Oh. I wasn't planning on doing a site in HTML. My god. I'm not retarded. CSS FTW!

I meant the index.htm . lulz
