Today's Average Screen Resolution?

Posted by Cliff on 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."

    Anyone who uses a web browser is, by definition, knowledgeable in the use of web browsers. So, if you can use a web browser, you're literate in the use of web browsers. Similarly, if you can read and understand books in french, you're literate in french. I'm not sure if I understand your example, since you admit you can't read books in french, and therefore you're not literate in french. I can't see the contradiction there.

    I have no problem with the original poster writing a web site to target web illiterate people. In fact, it sounds like it's about the only thing he's qualified to do.
