[thelist] RE: Design Resolutions

[Sabrina Dent, Apperception]

Hi Annie...

I still try to make sure the site looks OK at 640 but I now design for 800.
This means that all the important stuff (navigation and main content)
fits/goes in the first 600 or so px and the secondary stuff (advertising,
secondary navigation, whatever) goes in the rest. That means the secondary
content "hangs off" the right side at 640x480... but its nicely divided.

Or I use the contentious "liquid pages." Or a combination of both, so that I
have liquid pages that don't shrink below 800 but divide nicely at 640. It
depends. "On what?" is a different post :o)
