Window size between different monitor sizes

How can I be sure that my website looks good no matter what size monitor the user has? i.e. if the person's monitor is small, I want the web page to be small enough that they don't have to scroll and if their monitor is massive, I'd like my web page to fill most of their screen.

Thanks!

RE: Window size between different monitor sizes

Hi Mia

If you know what size monitor most of your users use, you should design your web site for that screen resolution. However if you are unsure it would be a good idea to design for a smaller screen.

Remember if you want to make your webpages resize, do not use a fixed width design. This way you webpage will expand so that it fills out the larger monitors.

Hope this helps
David

RE: Window size between different monitor sizes

Hi there, not sure exactly sure how to do either thing you suggest using Dreamweaver. Where do I set the resolution or the width of a design?

Cheers, Mia

Hi Mia,

If you are using tables, you use table width and if you are using css you use ems to set the width.

Hope this helps
David
