Site Resolution

Which is the best resolution to make a site?

800 x 600
1024 x 768
1280 x 1024

i think 750 for the width is best for any resolution & 100% for the height.
it avoids the scrol bar and keeps the 800*600 user happy

1024x768 because it's more widely used I think and people with 800x600 make them increase resolution!!

im to lazy to edit my post but its mostly what your client want. clans want them mostly like 900 in width

With the use of css layouts where pages shrink and expand depending on screen this is not as important as used to be. Right now most visitors are 800 X 600 so make it look best there. Watch 'expanding' pages because lines of text can get to long to read.

Ya but the problem is, many institutions for the public like schools and poorer libraries run computers on 800x600. Also, it never looks wel designed with side scolling and designing it for highter resolutions allw for that possibility...

1024x768 is the size for the majority of users anyone with a screen res any less doesn't deserve to view your site as they are too tight to buy a decent monitor and gfx card to support higher.

I think 1024x768 is more widely used.

for me, still 800x600 since that size is the most favour screen size

I make mine all 800 by 600 but in 1024 by 768 so they are capatible with everything bigger, but it works in 1024 by 768.

I find if you make a slim layout, it looks cool / centered in 1024 upwards, but in 800 it will take up the whole screen, not as good, but at least you dont have a scroll.

800*600 is always better then large resolutions, majority of users still use 14" monitors and prefer using the low resolution.
I will design a site which would fit any end-user desktop.
