You know one thing I was just thinking about...what about the longevity of a site? Think about the future. Seeing a great looking site that was designed for 8x6 is still ok by today's standards, but it will probably look archaic in a couple years....like seeing a site designed for 640x470 today.
To design for the present, or the future...isn't that always the question with the internet?

3360x1050
It's the new standard.

but can it handle a site with like 30,000 photos?
- version30
why not?
organization of content and information is that of the designer
the information is all parsed by the server the flash is just a viewer for the cms
3360x1050
It's the new standard.

Shit load of companies still buying 15inch screen laptops.
Most companies want laptops smaller and designers want them bigger.

Who's on 640x480 these days? I design for 800x600 but I'm getting tired of explaining to my clients why they see white space on their site. I'm thinking of making the switch and stepping it up a size.

1024

Yeah, I design for 1024 x 768 - that is the most commonly used resolution.

depends on the target audience.

800 for professional, government-related, and/or business.
1024 for personal.

I do 8x6 as well, but I have also had clients upset with the excess whitespace on the sides of their site.
So for me its 800x600, unless I get a special request to go larger.

but most 15 laptops are 1280ish wide... quite a few 13" laptops are 1280x800... all fine...

the last site i designed for is literally optimized for dual 1680 x 1050 set side by side
and it looks great btw
and if its fixed width and i give a shit its still fitting on a 800x600 display
