What page width is in fashion for contemporary web design right now?

May 20th, 2010 by admin

Note: I am referring to FIXED width only. Not FLUID.

I appreciate that it’ll be too wide for older monitors but a lot of popular sites seem to be ignoring compliance. I’m not so much concerned with compliance as I am concerned with fashion. What width is in fashion for contemporary web design right now? Is a 1000 pixel fixed width alright for website?

I reckon building a website with 950 or 960 px page width. This way it shows up well with a 1024 px width screen. I appreciate many desktops and macs come with wider screens, but you also need to factor in the fact that net books and smart phones now have smaller screens. Fashion is about design, not width and you could easily add a theme or background in the margins of the main site that can make the site look very cool.

    950px is what most of the top web sites have.
    Get Firefox + Firebug plugin and check some of the web sites you like.
