Solve : HTML liquid design? |
|
Answer» Ok... I'm pretty new to this whole web design thing. I'm using Frontpage 2003 to design a site for the company I work with. I've read about a "liquid"? design which allows the page to be resized to fit all screen resolutions, and that it has to be done in percentages as opposed to pixels. I'm very confused about what i have to change to make the page automatically adjust. Wondering if I gave you the code for a page of the site, if someone could help!?
<font face="Verdana" size="5" color="#003300">A Full Service Property Maintenance Business</font>

But when I try different ones, I have to scroll around and it's driving me nuts... HELP!!!Personally, I'd stick with a fixed width but I'd make the width MUCH less than 1347. Why did you make the page that wide? 1347 is a very wide page size; many computer users are using monitors with smaller resolutions and/or they don't always keep their browser maximized to cover their whole screen. If you decrease the width down to about 800 - 900 pixels, many more visitors to your website will be able to view the pages without horizontally scrolling. I appreciate your quick response. I'm definitely an amateur regarding web design, and just designed the page to fit on my laptop, not really thinking about resolution issues until after I finished. My laptop has a wide screen, so it looks great on there... but not too hot on other screens. LOL.You should probably stick to a fixed design of 950-970 pixels as most resolutions are set for 1024x768. That is pretty standard these days. This way everyone views your site the same way - Not many people are viewing with 800X600 anymore...Try browser shots to check different screen resolutions http://browsershots.org/ It will test different resolutions and different browsers. You can make several tests but keep the list to about 10 or it will take too long. - hope this helps falconnavyfalcon, thanks for giving your advice but PLEASE don't post in topics more than about a month old. to give my advice, instead of using the "width:888px:" in the CSS you should instead use "width:65%;" It might cause a few proplems, but if you really want to use it, this is it. |
