Today's Average Screen Resolution?

Posted by Cliff on Friday December 23, 2005 @05:24AM from the remembering-320x200 dept.

ShadowDawn asks: "I'm looking to develop a website for average computer illiterate users and I'm just curious what the average users screen resolution is, now a days? I know 800x600 used to be the main size to develop for, but last I had seen 1024x768 was taking over. I was just wondering if anyone out there ran a 'normal' site that 'normal' people visit and would have some insight."

Real Computer Illiterate Users don't use computers, and don't have a preferred screen resolution. Anyone using a computer has, by definition, some degree of computer literacy, in the same way anyone reading a book has some degree of "normal" literacy.

The question is moot, though, since Real Web Designers don't design web pages to a particular screen resolution. Also, real web designers often try to target a more specific audience than "people who don't use computers."
