Resolution on the Internet
Many Internet performances are created for the screen resolution 800 × 600 pixels. Other designers design against just website for resolution 1024 x 768 or greater.
But what is the right way now. Dear give place to a narrow website for all users reach or go to the full and exploit the screen width.
A long-term Webtrekk is this question and helps decision making.
Screen resolutions of Internet users
According to the current numbers from Webtrekk, the 4.Quartal used 2006 following resolution:
- 1280 × 1024% 20,30 %
- 1280 × 800% 7,60 %
- 1152 × 864% 3.58 %
- 1024 × 768% 50,32 %
- 800 × 600% 4,02 %
- other 14,18 %
What is noticeable first is the high proportion of “other” resolutions. This is obviously unsatisfactory because 14,18% are already considerable size. At least a distinction between “bigger than 1280 × 1024″ and”less than “800 × 600″ would have been here interesting.”
Because, however, this percentage has increased in recent quarters steadily, one can assume that is largely very high resolutions.
Most users have a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. And around 95% have a resolution of over 800 × 600 pixels (if we times “other” regard the group as high resolution). Only about 4% use the low resolution of 800 × 600 pixels.
What does this mean for your Web site?
Of course, have no reason to give users and were only 5 percent. Nevertheless, the time has come to design your Web site for 1024 × 768 resolution.
To visitors with 800 × 600 pixels not to lose, you should arrange left but important site elements such as navigation, body, or as the shopping cart. More unwichtigere items can to the right edge.
As it is not too bad a few users do not see these unwichtigeren elements.
Resolution against window size
The tip rather left arrange the important elements of a Web site has a different background. Many Internet users use browser window that are not maximized. This means that to use the full resolution.
As a visitor has a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. Because the browser but not to the full page size is maxmiert, it has a width of 800 pixels for example.
Conclusion:
In general you should optimize your Web site for the resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. But be sure to arrange important members rather left and not directly to the right edge. To be sure that most visitors can easily use your Web site.
