Human nature is like that and it has very little to do with I.Q. The fat part of the web-surfer bell curve is still running at 800x600, trending towards 1024x768. For public sites, I like to design for 800x600 screens. There are millions of Web TV's out there too. WebTV's display even less than the original 640x480 of the IBM-PC-XT. Recently we've had to serve folks who surf the web on PDA's or cellphones too. WebTV, PDA's and Cellphones are very special design needs, and your budget committee needs to evaluate the cost of serving that need, vs the share of your audience that is likely to seek it. I built these grids to help remind myself that not everyone on the net has a 4800 x 1200 pixel workstation. I also recommend testing each new website design with a slow modem before taking it live to see what people who do not have broadband see. All the best, Scott Rainey |
