[Sigia-l] Display Size

[Berthelemy, Mark (L&D)]

Yes - thanks Skot. I would tend to agree. When you design a website you
could have an optimum range of widths in mind (which is probably between
800 & 1024 pixels) - within which you would design your pages on those
practical considerations. But every page should degrade gracefully as
people move further away from that optimum.

I would amend this to:

"There is no TECHNICAL need these days to fix your design to a screen
size."

There are still practical considerations of placement control,
readability, and usability to consider. These non-technical reasons may
make choosing a fixed width a better choice.
