Time to move beyond 960?
April 28th, 2009
A width of 960 pixels has become the de facto standard for creating fixed-width web sites. Cameron Moll is asking if it is time to move beyond this width, and if so, what do we move to? I personally really like 960 as a width. It makes for easy to read lines of text and helps to ensure that they don’t get too long.
He proposes widths of 1020, 1040, and 1080. I am not sure the extra 60 to 120 pixels will really make that big of a difference.
With most computer monitors now displaying 1280 or larger horizontal resolutions, it is definitely something to think about.
