This may shock most of you but since I work there it's not a shocker to me, we just got a website.
The company I work for has been in business for 75 years. We have had the same name, been located in the same city/state and are in the commercial sign industry...we just got a website.
Moving on, I saw our website for the first time today. Nothing fancy, really it's nothing special but hey we have a website. At first glance my boss calls me over and asks why when he tries to print the first page it is cropping the right side and you have to scroll the page to see the right side. I take a quick glance and tell him basically it's because it was created in a 1024x768 format. Oddly enough, remember we just got a website, we run our computers in 800x600. I quickly switched the resolution to 1024x768 and BAM our website is now viewable as a full page and there is no need to scroll to the right to see the full page! I tell him that it may be a good idea to give whoever created this P.O.S., I mean our new website, to change it so it is fully viewable in 800x600 resolution.
I'm just curious as to your views or opinions on what the "average" websurfer, consumer, customer etc., desktop resolution is. The funny thing about this little "milestone" if you will, is the website designer insisted that "everyone" uses 1024x768 res. these days and we shouldn't want it changed.
:huh2:
