I see some web pages are centered (like stackoverflow.com) in the middle while others occupy the whole screen (yahoo.com).
In some books it’s said that the width must be 720 pixels,
but what should the width be and why?
The latest trend is Responsive Web Design, which says that you should make your page resize to fit the browser window, whether on a desktop or a mobile phone, by dynamically changing the page layout. That gets great results, but takes extra effort.
If you want to use a fixed width you could ask, what is the most useful width to use? The 960 Grid System says to use a width of 960, since it is easy to divide into evenly spaced columns. It is a flexible width to pick because, “960 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320 and 480.”
