Setting your site page width to 1024 pixels affects 7 percent of visitors

Screen Resolutions of PublicityShip Site Visitors Jul 06 to Jun 07Reading Brendan Buttar’s post on Screen Resolution for Web Design prompted me to publish a recent analysis we completed to see how many people are viewing our PublicityShip site with 800×600 screen resolutions.

Stats for the last 12 months show that:

  • a width of 800 pixels supports 99.95% of visitors
  • a width of 1024 pixels supports 93% of visitors (or annoys 7%, if you prefer)

If you go beyond 1024, then immediately you mess up the experience for over 50% of your visitors.
