When it comes to browser sizes it’s important to remember that not everyone has the same, whether you’ve got a widescreen monitor, a small monitor or view a browser through a screen projector. To this end when laying out a website it’s vital to bear in mind where key elements are positioned, such as a ‘Buy now’ button or any other call to action.
Google have created a tool to help website owners see how much of their website their visitors can see depending on their browser size: http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/. The main aim of this tool is to allow website owners to improve conversion rates and engagement. Have a go with your website and see if it’s optimised for the average browser size.
Of course at WebCatch we design all of our websites with this in mind, if you have an existing site but are worried that you’re missing out on potential customers due to the layout then get in touch and we’ll see what we can do.
