"I recommend Zsoka to everyone who is facing the exciting and challenging task of creating a logo, a website, or any other form of promotion and public image for a business. I was forced to define myself very clearly in the process of building a site, and that means I had to dig deep and discover exactly who I am and what I have to offer the world as a professional in my field. Zsoka not only understood that process, she was extremely well-prepared to support me in that discovery. Additionally, she has great creative flair and a wealth of knowledge in her area of expertise. I couldn't be more pleased with the results!"
How wide should your web site be
Submitted by zsoka on Thu, 2007-04-19 12:02. Web DesignA 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.
