What is the max width a page should be today?

Title says it all. Is it still 800px?

 

I think it's 1024px

No one use 800x600 pixel resolution anymore

 

some people at my work do!! crazy old people.

 

Not so. In my visitor population it is currently 3.6% which represents a considerable number of people.

Is this 3.6% visitor are the 'crazy old people' from mill123's work place?

 

Yahoo's Page width is almost 960pixel. and I think that is the best size for big site. It depends on Site's Content. Like Forums should have 100% screen size like digital point.

 

I think I would stay at 800px

 

Ok, I will stay at 800 or about 90%

 

Think about your target audience. If you're aiming at a more tech savvy group, like people in this forum, then the number of people running at 800x600 is likely to be insignificant.

 

Still 800px... good luck.

 

I am aiming at people who will use my content management system. Maybe I should use a percentage.

 

you may use up to 1200, now days most people have a good enough comptuer and monitor for a highter res, the 800 days are long gone;

 

Yeah, I develop most of my sites for 960, it works fine, 800 is low these days

 

The resolution is 1024 px in most browsers.
