  is this acceptable? if not what width would you recommend? I'm designing a design company's website, so they want it nice and big on screen... thanks

  Normally page width is based on common screen sizes, minus a certain amount of space for browser chrome. The vast majority of sites target 1024 screen size and make the site somewhere between 950 and 1000 pixels wide.

  1280 would probably be the most common next step up. But if you target that size you might want to design the site to have a liquid width or to dynamically resize itself using responsive design so that users on smaller screens don't get a scrollbar.

  Something like this maybe? http://cssgrid.net/
