We’ve been kicking around the idea of revisiting some of the fundamental design structures for a site I’m working on. One of the bugs in our bonnet is whether or not to move from a fixed 600 pixel wide grid to one that uses an 600×800 screen as the lowest common denominator. Certain inseparable tendencies that have been imprinted on our personalities still make it necessary for us to have massively regimented control over the layout, so a liquid design structure is not even being considered. On the flip side, we are not making this decision completely blind and tethered either. We are capturing screen size and bit depth data via some skanky bits of client side JavaScript to make sure that certain assumptions regarding our target audience are somewhat accurate. Now, you get to participate. Does anyone have any experiences or user feedback they can share involving moving a site to a wider format? I’m all ears.
