I set a maximum width, and let the page be liquid up to a point, beyond which the design would be broken by a very wide monitor.

What is currently the best standard layout?<br />
<br />
I started back around 2001 with a target layout made for 800 x 600, <br />
and the page width would &quot;stretch&quot; to accomodate different monitors.<br />
<br />
Then in 2008, I made the target layout for 1200 x 800, <br />
with a fixed 870 pixel page width.<br />
<br />
Now with these really wide monitors today, I definately need a fixed width layout.<br />
<br />
But what is the best width for a page layout today?<br />

The best layout style today

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

HTML

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
