Maximising Web Site Viewability - Resolution

Written by Phillip Harrison

This is my second article on maximising web site viewability. Analysing screen resolution data.

With so many different configurations internet users have their computers set up with, it can be difficult to decide how web sites

should be configured so that it is viewable in as many configurations as possible.

So in repparttar last 6 months i have been logging repparttar 146831 statistics from my web design site to achieve as accurate a result as possible to answer this question.

The results are interesting reading and in my next few articles i will be analysing this data.

resolution statistics :

1024 x 768 Screen Resolution - 52% 1280 x 1024 Screen Resolution - 24% 1600 x 1200 Screen Resolution - 11% 800 x 600 Screen Resolution - 12% 1152x 864 Screen Resolution - 7%

These statistics basically show that internet users are moving towards their highest resoultion, with repparttar 146832 largest resoultion of 800 by 600 going by repparttar 146833 wayside. But there is still 12% using this resolution.
