  • Fixed vs. Liquid Layouts: A Totally Biased Comparison -- indywebshop.com

    Added by iisbum 10 months and 1 week ago, viewed 92 times

    This article assumes that you are already at least passingly familiar with the age old web design debate of liquid versus fixed layouts.

    Yesterday’s post about optimizing sites for 1024px has stirred a considerable amount of controversy. Some cried foul assuming I was making the case for moving to 1024 without any regard to target audience. Others assumed I was ignoring the importance of fluid layouts.

    I read a bunch of sites each saying that there’s no wrong way to go. For simplicity sake I started off in a fixed format but now, I’ve decided that the wave of the future is in liquid layouts. Here’s why.
