Choose a Website Size and Layout Suitable for Your Audience

You don't want your visitors to say your website doesn't suit them, do you?

Analyze your website's stats. Find the most common screen size and use that
information to make design and layout decisions.

No website just yet? For a simple site with seldom-changing content, try a
resolution of 1024×768 to accommodate the narrower screen widths of those
running a little behind the times.

Don't feel pressured to use "responsive design" if all you have is a simple
three-page website for a service-based business, with content that never
changes. A fluid-width website with a companion mobile site can be more than
sufficient.

Likewise, if you have a blog or frequently changing news section on your
website and want this information reflected across all media channels -
desktop and mobile - it may then be in your best interest to take your
"fluid width" website a step further, to consider a completely responsive
design.

Here, website conversion rates hinge upon how well your content adapts to
the user's needs and how accessible you've made it.

my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can
be done today."
