The last 9 months have brought to light not only the need for website varients catering for mobile browsers such as Safari on the iPhone, but more recently design for the increasingly popular netbooks.

Now in all fairness theres not much in the way of additional consideration needed, the main thing being the catering for the 1024 x 600 pixel resolution, which if you’re as long in the tooth as I am, brings back a time when design for 800 x 600 screens were common.

So what standards should you follow now?

My recomendation is:

  • 1000px wide (max – its actually 1004 but whos counting 4 pixels)
  • 420px for first fold on IE6 (its a little more for IE7, Firefox and Opera etc)
  • 590px second fold for standard 1024 x 768 monitors
