With wide screens becoming ever more popular, so does the importance of assigning a width to websites. If you’re thinking of having your website expand to fit the width of the user’s screen, you may want to think again.
This won’t only be an ugly website to look at on certain screens, but can you imagine reading text on a widescreen monitor? Chances are you’ll get lost before finishing the line you’re on, and if you do manage to get halfway through a paragraph you’ll probably feel the need to claw your eyeballs out.
A safe max-width to work at for your website is 1000px, this should cater for the people whose monitors have a resolution of 1024px wide. The remaining 24px will come in use for the scroll bar that may appear on the right-hand side of the the browser.
