Well I make sites not wider than 700-800px so it fits into the 800x600 screen but actually I think pages look much nicer in 1024 resolution if they’re 700-800 wide 😉 ---

depends on the aim of the site I design. nearly one third of the people still use 800x600, on the other hand I guess most 90% of the visitors of a “normal” site will use higer resolutions A buisness site focused on usability would probably better be done in 800x600 ---

I keep my sites at a width of 756 pix, other than that I design around the 768 pix height. This way my sites look “right” at 1024x768 and they still fit the width for 800x600 so there is no side scrolling. Just my technique, but I like 1024x768 websites better. ---

I design at 800X600 A lot of people still use it. Especially the computer illiterate potential client that is on my site thinking of hiring me. ---

800x600! I usually make sure that tables’ widths are no larger than 750-ish pixels. ---

I wish the day would come where I can design for a base of 1024x768. But I normally go 800x600 as a base. ---

i have both versions of my site, weird thats the first and only vote for that option, my sites fit both resolution but more then 1024 X 768, sometimes it does’nt, like have a look at [www.alexmcmillan.co.uk](http://www.alexmcmillan.co.uk), i have to make some repairs for 800 X 600 one, earlier i used a resolution script to check the resolution of the screen and then redirected it to the optimum screen size, reason i do that is coz my 70% of clients are from uk, in india we have 800 X 600 resolutions as the default, its changing now as copanies have stop making 15" screens, with 17" they have to change the screen resolution too… [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/what-resolution-do-you-design-in/64367.md?page=2)
