Site Width

[Rob]

I'm trying to decide whether 100% of the screen width is better than a fixed 900 pixels (centred in most people's screens).

Use 100% width design,
and use min-width in css, 770px so doesn't shrink when on smaller screen or when in a smaller window. Now supported in the main browsers IE7, firefox and opera.

Yeah what bones said. Looks good as it is at the mo :)

Try fixed, but to the left rather than centred. Because the background's almost white, most people shouldn't notice that it doesn't take up the whole screen, as long as the banner goes right along the top.

I always minimise / structure the layout of the window anyway, so as to hide the flashing ads from passers by. If one only has text windows open, its less eye catching and quite often goes unoticed.

I say leave it. It looks fine centered

[Hoowl]

not strictly related but i think it would be good to have a version that looks good and runs quickly on PDAs.

Center it! The site is built in tables and will be hard to make it cross browser compatible with the css methods - its also hard to maintain due to styles and scripts being embedded in each page (inline and in head). Might want to think about a pure xhtml/css compliant content management system - becomes easier for you guys to manage this and any other problems ie PDA, Mobile phone problemo mentioned above!!!

I need to be able to view it in a small window for skiving purposes. Long as I can do that easily, I don't mind.

This should be though I haven't tested it yet:

Yes that should be ok, and infact i have used this site while being abroad on opera mini when i couldnt live without this precious site but some of it didn't look to special when width was enforced via tables.

The site doesn't neccessarily need a style sheet just for PDAs but if it was built CSS 100% (Divs, spans, h1s, ps etc) then it would degrade very gracefully.

I want it the same width as it was on the old site.

It's got wider on this one, just change it back to what it was.
