"I was referred to Zsoka (Lohas by Design), by a personal contact, for the construction of my company web-site. It was a pleasant surprise to discover that Zsoka also offered other services such as business card design and other marketing materials. Zsoka has proven to have very creative ideas for artwork and marketing in general. She also has solid contacts in place for extended business support such as printing and web-site technology. I have put Zsoka in a time sensitive position (for printed artwork) twice and both times she has come through for me on schedule. I am entirely grateful for the support Zsoka has shown towards my passion for horticulture and the company of Hortygirl. In turn, I wish Zsoka continued success with Lohas by Design."
How wide should your web site be

Web Design
A question that I often got from my students: how wide should our interface design be? The correct answer is: it depends. I know, not much help, but let me explain.
Most importantly, we do not design website for ourselves. But not even for our clients. We design websites for our clients' target market. And when it comes to the width of the web pages, it really depends on what monitor resolution the target market is using. Once we determined that, we have to consider, that the browser window will have certain elements, such as scroll bar, tool bars, title bar, etc. which we have to deduct from the available monitor dimensions. Therefore, the interface that we design, must fit within the area that is left.
There isn't an exact formula, unfortunately, and that is because the platform (operating system) will also influence the equation.
Here is an article that gives you some guidelines, though. Enjoy.
