What resolution should I be designing for

Hi there,

Just wondering what resolution I should be designing for in this day and age, trying to get back into website design and need to know what the current standard is.

Cheers.

That’s about as close to a standard as now exists given the huge variety of possible viewport sizes now in use.

Not as easy a question as it would seem. Are you designing primarily for audiences who use desktops, laptops, mobile devices? Do you prefer to stay with fixed-width layouts or are you more into elastic or liquid models? There’s no one easy answer any more. If you do require a “one size fits all” solution, I’d suggest designing an elastic, scalable layout with a minimum and maximum width, and perhaps considering an alternative layout for mobile devices. But that’s just one suggestion, and not anywhere approaching comprehensive.
