With 39% of people still using 800x600 or lower that doesn't seem too clever
an idea ...

Subject: [thelist] Page width and good web design


Hi all,



I have a colleague who is proposing to revamp the design of a website to
make the page 1024 pixels across. My strong feeling is that the new design
is very difficult to scan and read, because it's just too wide. I've read a
reasonable number of online murmurings that tend to support that view, but
I'm having problems finding any definitive research...


Can someone point me in the direction of good research and information?
Also, if any of you have strong views one way or the other I'd be interested
in hearing them.



Thanks




Jason
