    I want to make a new website but I want set dimensions. My last website I put width and height to 100% and it looked weird. What do you guys usually put your websites dimensions to? I want it to look good but have a set amount.

    In photoshop when you design it, keep the width to 900px or 1024px and height to 1200px. Slice the images carefully and then css your design. It will look good and your css will be easy. Donot worry about the height. Every page should increase or decrease according to the content of the page.

    In some designs, you can try to use full width headers and footers by using repeat-x in the background in the css.

    You should always design your site so that it has a liquid design, which means that the height and width change according to the user's resolution.

    I like doing it between 900px and 1000px... just how I design things. Usually there aren't scaling issues there.
