Today’s post does not have a whole lot to do with SEO, but it is a web development reminder that should not be forgotten. In the past, web developers were aware of screen resolution when developing websites. As an unspoken standard, most web developers used 800×600 as the rule of thumb for laying out their website. Then screens got bigger and wider and developers have relaxed on the 800×600 standard.
This last weekend I spent some time on someone else’s machine and they were using the 800×600 resolution setting and we were scrolling left and right on the webpages of some high profile websites. Apparently those sites have forgotten that not everyone runs one of the higher resolutions and they have made it more work for their visitors who use 800×600. Don’t be one of those sites.
