Nielsen on web page widthSubmitted by Tom Boone on August 1, 2006 - 11:00pm.
Judging from the CS-SIS Roundtable I participated in at the AALL Annual Meeting, there are a lot of law librarians currently engaged in large-scale redesigns of their library websites. If, like me, you're constantly banging your head against a wall over the issue of page width, you'll probably want to check out Jakob Nielsen's latest Alertbox column, Screen Resolution and Page Layout. Nielsen's summary:
According to Nielsen, "60% of all monitors are set at 1024x768 pixels," while "only about 17% use 800x600." The best news of all? "Fewer than half a percent of users still have 640x480." (Thanks to Roger Fenton for posting a link to Nielsen's column on the Web4Lib listserv.) Bookmark/Search this post with: ( categories: )
