Average Container Width?

[Darthmaul]

An odd question, but something that seems to vary a bit. What's your average size for a container that you use?

I like to use 960px as it's a great size for most people to view 🙂

I use 960px as well. If I make a fluid-width site, I normally have it around 85-90% of screen size, with a min-width of 980px.

Ah yes, well it seems most of the responsive layouts I work with have 980px as the min width as well 🙂

In most of my projects I use the 960 grid system, so I choose 960px width for the container 🙂

I use 900px 😳
If i'm doing a fluid design then it's 75-80%.

1024px with responsive design.

Your container should never be over a 1000px otherwise there will always be a resolution on which your design will totally screw up on.

I've always used around 900px.
