I need to get my website to fit the screen

Question

I have created my website as a fixed layout, with a width of 1600px, but the webpage on a smaller resolution looks too big. What am I supposed to do to make it looks good in ev

Answer 1

Your options:

• Use a narrower fixed width. Staying under 1,000 pixels is fairly safe though not perfect
• Use percentages for page width instead, though this is difficult if you need to have a set width for child elements to look right
• Do a combination of the above and use media queries in your CSS to make your site responsive. It'll fit every screen width you specify AND you'll have full control over your layout at each trigger point.

Here is a great resource for learning about responsive sites - this is the way to build a modern website, so though it might seem confusing it's worth every minute you spend on it.

Good luck.
