Hi there,

I am very confused and have been searching the net for answers and i am very happy to have comeacross this forum, cause maybe now i can get some help.

I am new to building websites and have just completed a course where i have now discoverd that i havent learnt much!!

We just bought a new screen (resolution 1280 x 1240 and i looked at my site in dreamweaver cause previously had a 1024 x 768) and it looks very small now and has shifted to the left, so i was wondering if i build my site according to the resoluion of 1280 x 1024 will it be ok if people view it with screen resolutions of 1024 x 768??

Will the other computers adjust it accordingly??

Remember that not everyone on the Web has the same monitor as you have. If you design your Web pages to be displayed on a monitor with a 1024x768 resolution, some of your visitors with lower resolution monitors (like 640x480) might have problems reading your pages.

Some users still have low resolution 640x480 monitors, but the trend is moving towards 800x600 as the low resolution standard. This Web site is designed to be best viewed on 800x600 or better resolution.

If you are one of those developers with a sophisticated monitor (1600x1200?), make sure you test the display of your Web pages on different monitors with lower resolutions.

One wise thing to do when designing the layout of Web pages is to let a section of each page be of variable size to fit the size of a large or small resolution monitor.

Take a look at our browser display statistics to see the trends in monitor development.
