Best web page size?

[Patrick S.]

What do you think would be the best web page size(EXAMPLE: 800px wide)?

940-988px is the best IMO.

 

[Patrick S.]

That seems to be what most people use.
I like 1000px some of the time though.

i do 960 and 1024 now, screens are getting wider.

I would usually do a fluid width about, 80% or 75%.

Yeah, I go fluid too 🙂

 

[Patrick S.]

Ya that's the best but sometimes it's not the best looking.

It depends on the design honestly, it's never something you can choose ahead of time and stick with.

For example some designs work with a fluid width versus sometimes they don't.

970px. Try not to go over 1000px.

960 grid system.

I always go with a 960 grid, literally always.

Depending on what the website is I usually go 960 if I plan on it being fixed and if not I usually have fluid 80-90%.

960 is nice. But once you start getting into business, and dealing with tons of clients with different needs, it just doesn't do it. Nowa' days we usually make our own grid per the clients needs. But if you're just looking for some where to start http://www.960.gs is the way to go!

I use the 960 gs when doing designs. For now, it's efficient for it's purpose.

There's not a correct size and you can't always have what everyone wants..it's more of a preference thing IMO.

I agree, their isn't one CORRECT size for everyone/everything to solve all problems. But there is a more "preferred" size that can be calculated by browser statistics, needs of a client, etc.
