Designing Web Sites For All Screen Resolutions

It is important to design your website for all screen resolutions.

 

1. Web site design scalability

As technology advances and the configuration of monitors keep increasing it is impossible to test your site in all screen sizes. Designing stretch layouts that fit any screen resolution ensures that you know all your visitors see a visually appealing and professional site.

 

2. To fit available browser space for easy reading

Try out a fixed width site in all resolutions (especially higher than 1024x768) and see how empty and unprofessional it looks. If it is necessary for you to keep a fixed width then there are a number of suggestions on how to do it more professionally.

 

3. To keep your viewers on your site

A site that is easy-to-use always encourages visitors to stay and read your content. For site with long pages of content this is critical as the amount of scrolling required is reduced. Suppose your site doesn't look good for a particular resolution it is very probable that the visitor will close the browser window feeling that the web page is not for their viewing.
