Can any one give a good reason’s for moving up to & larger size than 800 wide?
I know you maybe able to get a little more on your visitors screen. But is it worth it. You can only read so much with two eyes & sometimes too much info in one area can lead to a touch of overload. I personally find it easier to read from a 800 format & don’t mind the blank space to either side at all.
On having a quick look around the net, I find a lot of the big companies still stick with the 800 format. I can only assume they feel that it is not prevalent to up the size as from 800 as yet. I have noticed this especially with banks & am not sure if this is to cater for some of the small laptops & the higher use of tablets these days for online banking.
Would appreciate your views
Small list of some big names that stick with the 800 format. Naturally starting with the leaders of this size.
