So I am making this personal website that has very litte content, and if I use the standard 960px width, there are very wide white spaces. It would be nice to have a shorter width, but then other problems arise such as bad view on other resolutions. What would you suggest?
To suit any screen resolution and make your website look good in any size, I would recommend going for a responsive design, using Media Queries. You can read up on the topic here.
That way, you can use 960px width for visitors with a browser window larger than that, and then make the website resize gracefully for visitors using mobile devices etc.
However, don’t get too hung up on 960px width, that is no standard but simply a format that often works well, since 960 is a number that is easy do divide (to make columns) and is a width that is below the still quite common 1024px resolution.
