Is 1024px the new 800px for Web Design?


Welcome back! Have you subscribed to my RSS feed? If not, please consider doing so. Thanks for again for visiting!

Once the reboot was through on HeadsetOptions, I got mixed response from our users; so I went back to figure out once and for all if designing around 800px made sense anymore. As with ALA 4.0, most sites now support 1024px format or higher, no one talks or cares about 800px anymore.

I didn’t have to look too far for evidence, it was close at hand, all within my user tracker.

screen resolution of users on headsetoptions.org

The result – less than 2 percent of the users are viewing our site with 800px screens, the majority of the users use 1024px. So there you go, 1024px is the new 800px, so back to the drawing board.

    14″ on a laptop is the most I would lug around airports, anything larger is bulky and fugly!

  3. My website is 800 and I think it’s time to make the change and switch…Funny how a random blog post I come across can get me convinced.
