I know this has been asked a million times before, but do you 900 x 600 is an acceptable size for a mixed audience of real estate brokers, corporate tycoons, commercial developers, billionaire industrialists?
- forcetwelve0
i'd say these days 900 x 600 is totally acceptable.

do you thik people who say 768 wide are being overly conservative?

Yes.

I try to approximate the default window size of a browser on a 1024 display. So I would try to go more towards 850 if you can with the vital stuff above the 600 fold.

if you want my opinion, give me your tycoon clients first.

the client isn't the tycoon, the client wants the tycoons to buy a parcel of land

990*630 is my max

think I should go 850 x 600 to be "safe"?
- version30
900 sounded safe enough

I would, or make it your smallest collapse in a liquid layout, which is a pretty popular concession.

the thing is with 768 is that it looks SO small on a decent monitor. you just have to take a gamble to some extent i belive - do you want it to look good to the traget market, or satisfy everyone on all monitors...

I'd rather it looked good on the majority of the target audience

given that most people use 1024, and in a left-aligned website, i d say that working around 850-880 leaves a nice proportioned empty space on the right

For sites that don't have a lot of content, I'm still using 768px. That way it avoids a really wide, but short looking site.
For sites where the content is plentyful, I'm doing 960px now.
