I was just getting ready to put some finishing touches on my site,before I added any pages and I started thinking about people with lower screen resolutions.So i read a few articles that said to optimize for 1024x780,so I did and then I went back to my working resolution 1280x1024 and I sort of didn't like what I seen.Does anyone know anything I could do to optimize for all screen resolutions,or let me know what you think before I start adding pages.here is my site www.reelkill.trap17.com

I will be adding real content to it soon.

i might suggest using a % as the width's for your tables instead of px that way instead of having the defines width of XYZpx you will have a certain percent of the viewers resolution.

Yeah, this is the best way. You could also use percentage (%) for text size aswell, so it's not huge on small resolutions, but not tiny on big ones. At the moment though, it's ok for 1024x780 (or whatever the numbers are tongue.gif) but it might be big for smaller resolutions.

Not to beat a dead horse with this, but the reason you want to go with % is that you will be building a fluid design, meaning any computer resolution that looks at your site it will remain the same size. Of course in order to get a perfect fluid design everything around the % or it will break beyond the standard resolution. The same goes with fixed width's as well, if you don't use specific width's then your design could break as well. Then based on your which way you want to go will determine how much editing you will have to between the top browsers to make sure nothing is wrong with any of them. Just make sure you don't mix or match or peopel will have problems looking at your site beyond the 1024x768 or the 5 people that still use 800x600 resolution.
