Page Size Help Needed!

[ShaneSelby]

I am currently working on my webpage. I am making the template for my page in Photoshop but not sure what size I should make it. I will be putting it all together in frontpage.

So what size should I make the template for traditional web viewing? 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768

Thanks all!!

I usually create websites that can be viewed at 800x600 and above. Unless I'm making a very narrow site, I usually make the photoshop document 780 pixels wide. Sometimes the site ends up being a little narrower than that cause I don't use the whole canvas, but to avoid vertical scrolling on 800x600 resolutions, don't make the site wider than 780 pixels.

I 100% agree with everything he said.

most people still use 800x600 so i think you optimise your site for that resolution.
But make sure u test it on 1024x768 in both internet explorer and netscape before you upload.

its better to be safe than sorry...

Nobody is using 640x480 screen to surf web now, or if there are, you can count the people by your fingers.
