hi.. i neeed to know Which the better resolution to make a web side??? a resolution to work in any pc without problems


thanks.. bye ^.^

I am not saying that it is the best way to go, but 800x600 was a default for many designers. Nowadays the resolution moves to fit more to a page, but while working 800x600 will still alow users to see all that is being created, and will not have to scroll.

Using 1024x768 is becoming the new resolution default setting, but many popular sites still go by 800x600. For accessability purposes, some users use less space but for larger text areas.

So I would say either 800x600 or 1024x768... depending on how much space you would like to use.

If you are really talking about resolution, than 72 dpi is standard for web graphics.

If you are talking about dimensions, than there is some debate on the issue. I normally think about my target audience.
Some sites I make are specifically targeted to graphics designer. Most of that demographic have decent screens that and
usually have them set to higher screen resolutions. In that case I use 1024x768. Even many normal users Have their
screens set to 1024x768. Now, for example, imagine you were designing a website targeted toward older people. Many
older people keep their screens set to 800x600 for easy reading. In that case, I would use 800x600.

I'm still surprised to read this, 800x600 is what a 14"CRT screen normaly handles and I don't think there are many people around with such a old brick on the desktop. Honestly I'd go for a website that either adapts itself to the screen width (by using relative widths or by using different style sheets) or one that has all it's data in a 800px fixed-width divider, but this is something you usualy do for a blog or something similar.

I also use 800x600 always, any resolution higher is unbearably tiny on the screen (even with this 17inch CRT), in-fact the case doesn't change much on a 19 or 20inch CRT or LCD for me either.

It just always looks too small, then again I don't have my nose against the monitor lol, I sit back and relax.

Don't forget that you have toolbars in the browser window which cut back on the room you have to use in a website. Also, people using laptops, particularly widescreen laptops are going to have less height and more width!

Personally anytime I make websites over the last few years or more recent I use 1024x768 as an assumed average, but make sure it doesn't look like crap on 800x600 since some still use it. I also almost always use relative width's so that there isn't a bunch of empty space on people with higher resolutions since really 1024x768 isn't even close to what a lot of people run at.

So yes, my recommendation would be to use relative width's (usually layouts are pretty easy to pick and choose percents that fill the whole page and leave all pieces about the size you want) and just ensure that you play with your resolution and try it at 800x600 and up, making sure none look TOO bad, but aim for 1024x768 as a primary target.

Really its up to you as the designer, but making a site accessible to the max people possible without punishing people for using a higher resolution is always a good practice to follow.

It really does depend on your target audience. For standard audience, I usually wokr with 1024x768 as my assumed screen size, but try to go with a modular site design that uses relative widths and heights. For example, my laptop is running 1280x800, but since I have toolbars and docked other applications, my viewing size for websites approaches 800x600 if it isn't worse than that. But I'm okay with scrolling, and modular site design means I don't have to.

As was already mentioned, 800x600 is a common standard for people who are hard of vision. So it is good to design on that standard if you are, say, making an informational page for how to find the cheapest place to buy expensive prescriptions of eyeglasses.

Also, if you are catering to government types on one of their systems, many government standards still require webpages to be 640x480, such as some military sites. This applies to US government and is mostly only for internal stuff. I don't know much more about that, though.

I have the opinion that It dependes in a lot of conditions, like your target audience, user preferences, web content, etc, i generally work with only two resolutions, 1024x768 and 800x600 and i prefer the first one.

Best regards,

i make my sites using 1024x768

most new sites are designed for that resolution now since its the resolution mainly used by people on their computers.
