Check it out at your local library or buy it online. Why are books so much better than books? The advantage of books is that they tend to introduce a subject in a much more structured and systematic way, whereas information on the web is random and incomplete … meaning that important principles can often be missed.
Books are just as good as books. I would argue that the content in books is much better than online. Therefore, theoretically and empirically , more resources are put into the publication of these products.
Meant to say why are books so much better then online. It only depends on where you go. All of the answers so far talk about desktop monitors, but I'm using stack overflow on my iPhone and I don't think you should exclude any mobile platform by targeting or horizontal pixels.
Mark up your page so the browser knows what it all means and making it usable will come for free, even on screen readers and other kit you haven't thought of. It's best not to target any specific resolution, but to adapt easily to many different resolutions. This is why you see many sites this one included which use a central column approx pixels wide and with the most important content in the top pixels so it's above the fold when being viewed in screens this size.
Although the best width may by you'll have to adjust height for account for various browser settings navigation toolbar, bookmark toolbar, status toolbar, etc and account for taskbar settings. It'll quickly drop the down to around Whatever your target browser size, make sure to include space for browser toolbars, status bars, and scroll bars as above.
Internet Explorer IME often has over px of vertical space in toolbars and status bars. Typically, if I'm shooting for x , I would try to create a design of around - px wide and px high to be safe. That way you accomodate scrolling if necessary and some nice white space if the design requires it.
I highly recommend YUI grids for instances where you need to target specific sizes:. I get questions a lot from designers about not only width but what height to use to 'keep everything above the fold'. Here is one answer I gave recently -.
For width, I'm not a designer but I've read that px width is the way to go these days, because it lends itself to being divided into columns that look nice, and fits nicely within most displays. If you can, design a liquid layout - but this is not always practical depending on your designer, your CSS skills, the images and the amount of text.
This is the optimal column width for text, and it has been proven to be much faster and pleasant to read than very wide or narrow columns. As far as 'above the fold', I just have to caution against using any such concept on the web. But there are many different display formats out there, the browser chrome can take up a lot of room, and not everybody maximizes the browser window. And finally a good long article that goes into great detail I'd post more but SO says I am too noob - How to design for Browser Sizes - baekdal.
If you're running at anything less than x, it's time to upgrade. It's almost You can buy bargain bin lcd monitors with a native res of x I'd suggest you have a look at media-queries. This is a useful new addition to CSS that really makes so much sense, you'd wonder why this wasn't implemented waaay earlier. Basically it allows you to target browser attributes such as max and min-widths directly via CSS and branch your layout code from there.
Similar to creating a print stylesheet, you can create your desktop and mobile layouts in parallel in the same file, which kicks ass for development. Flexible or liquid layouts do restict design a little though, for example if you use background images that have to match the body background image. I would rather make different css layouts for the site and have them apply depending on the user's resolution, or if that's not possible have not digged into that yet , make it a choosable option.
Alright, I see alot of misinformation here. For starters, creating a web page using a certain resolution, say x for example, makes that page render properly using that resolution only! When that same page is displayed on someone else's laptop, or home PC monitor, the page will be displayed using that screen's current resolution, NOT the resolution you used when designing the page.
Don't create web pages for one specific resolution! There are too many different aspect ratios and screen resolutions to expect a "one size fits all" scenario, that with web design does not exist. Here's an example:. See, what we just did was specify 3 sets of styles that render at different resolutions. In the case of our example, if a screen's resolution is larger than px, the CSS for will be executed instead.
Likewise, if the screen displaying the content was px, the would be executed since is larger than The site I'm working on now functions at all resolutions x to x Another thing to keep in mind is that not all monitors with the same resolution have the same size screens.
You could put Also, create each media query using a different resolution on your laptop. You could use your resolution settings in Windows to adjust down x and creating a media query at that res, and then switch to x and create another media query at that res. I could go on and on, but I think you guys should get the point. That tutorial will show you how to design for all devices. There's also tutorials for Media Queries specifically. I developed the entire site to render on all devices, all screens, and all resolutions using no subdomains, and only CSS!
I am still working on support for tablets and smart phones. The site renders perfectly on any laptop, or your 50inch LCD TV, and many pages work perfectly on all mobile devices. If you put all your code on page, then your pages will load lightening fast! Also, be sure to pay attention to discussion in that article about the CSS "background-size: cover;" or "contain" properties, they will make your background graphics fluid and able to render perfectly at all resolutions.
Follow the sites tutorials and you can make a single web page that renders on everything and anything!
Try to target as the minimum width. Try how it looks at , but don't bother too much making that work. At x almost none of the major websites are going to work, so people working at that resolution are going to have problems all the time anyway. If you're going to go for a liquid layout, make sure that text doesn't get too wide , because when lines are too long, they become hard to read.
That's the main reason why most websites have a fixed width. I've given up on those with x I'd rather punish the few with outdated hardware by making them scroll if they need to, versus punishing everyone with new equipment by wasting space. Ultimately, this is not a matter of standards or best practices for markup, but rather knowing your audience and making sure your website does what you want it to do. There is no such thing anymore as a standard website width. In , the standard pixel-bypixel monitors were the biggest and best monitors available.
This meant that web designers focused on making pages that looked good in web browsers maximized on a inch to inch monitor at that resolution.
These days, the by resolution makes up less than 1 percent of most website traffic. People use computers with much higher resolutions including by, by and by In many cases, designing for a by resolution screen works.
Todya, most people have large, wide-screen monitors and they don't maximize their browser window. So if you decide to design a page that is no more than pixels wide, your page will probably look fine in most browser windows even on large monitors with higher resolutions. One often overlooked problem when deciding the width of a web page is how big your customers keep their browsers. Specifically, do they maximize their browsers at a full-screen size or do they keep them smaller than the full screen?
After you account for customers who maximize or don't, think about the browser borders. Every web browser uses a scroll bar and borders on the sides that shrink the available space from to around pixels or less on by resolutions and around pixels on maximized windows at by resolutions.
This is called browser chrome and it can take away from the usable space for your page design. The actual numerical width is not the only thing you need to think about when designing your website's width. For reference, here is a list of the current top screen resolutions worldwide as recorded recently :. It is impossible to design a website to look the same in every browser, platform, and screen resolution , so avoid trying.
You will not — cannot — please everybody — and the question which website size is best is still a hot topic for debate by designers with more usability and UX expertise than I. What I do know from experience is that it is of critical importance for you to identify YOUR audience and the devices they use , and build your website on the whole to suit THAT audience.
A text-only page, with equivalent information or functionality, shall be provided to make a web site comply with the provisions of this part, when compliance cannot be accomplished in any other way. The content of the text-only pages shall be updated whenever the primary page changes. This helps us to focus on the desktop version for web-search. When users visit that desktop version with a smartphone, you can redirect them to the mobile version.
Even better however is to use the same URLs and to show the appropriate version of the content without a redirect John Mueller, Google. Webmasters will see significantly increased crawling by Smartphone Googlebot, and the snippets in the results, as well as the content on the Google cache pages, will be from the mobile version of the pages.
Google Nov Google offers the following tips to check your site is prepared for the mobile first index, but essentially, if you are using a responsive web design template for your site you should have minimal issues with this change:. Make sure the mobile version of the site also has the important, high-quality content. This includes text, images with alt-attributes , and videos — in the usual crawlable and indexable formats. Structured data is important for indexing and search features that users love: it should be both on the mobile and desktop version of the site.
Ensure URLs within the structured data are updated to the mobile version on the mobile pages. Metadata should be present on both versions of the site.
It provides hints about the content on a page for indexing and serving. For example, make sure that titles and meta descriptions are equivalent across both versions of all pages on the site.
