Do you build for 800x600 or another size

[kobescoresagain]

I am building myself a new site, I was wonder if you build for 800x600 still or just higher settings.

I doubt many people use 800x600 anymore. I'm thinking 1024x768 has taken over as the norm. I could be wrong. I personally use 1280x1024.

800*600 for now and forever

my goal when creating a style is to mimic a "magazine/brochure" layout; the more you mimic everyday life the more successful a design can be

Things you should think about:
Do you think all the content on your page is read by reader?
What do you think is the most visible area of a layout?
Do you think adding "more content" will encourage readers to enter site?
Is your page layout created to place focus on certain items?

The more content you have on page:
the more confusing it becomes to the reader.
decreases rendering speed of page.
increases resources.
increases cost.
increases workload
