webmaster1 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 What is the IDEAL PIXEL WIDTH for website nowadays? It used to be 800px. Is this now considered too narrow? Would 1000px be conventionally considered too wide? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/178960-solved-ideal-pixel-width-for-websites/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerny Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 1000px isn't too wide for the average monitor now days... if your content fits best in 1000px, use it Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/178960-solved-ideal-pixel-width-for-websites/#findComment-944171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cags Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I see 1000px alot, it's just the right size for 1024px (which has fast become standard) resolution with a vertical scrollbar, without displaying a horizontal scrollbar.

haku Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 When doing fixed width layouts, I generally use 960 px, as it can be divided easily by 2, 3 and 4, so that you can put things in the grid.

haku Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I can't really take credit for the idea - it's pretty standard in design circles.
