Screen resolution is one key factor that determines the look of a web page.
Far be it for Down to Earth to tell you how to set-up your computer, although we would like to recommend or suggest that our site be viewed at a screen resolution of 800 X 600. This is optimum, and it may look slightly different in some cases when viewed with a screen resolution of 640 X 480. Thus is the dilemma of a Web Site Designer, in trying to get maximum exposure to you and your clients, you must try to aim at the widest viewing audience possible, this can and will lead to some compromises in your design. Browsers also play a major factor in how a web site will appear on your computer. They do this in the interest of speed and saving resources, as well studies have shown that people can and will get tired of waiting for a page to load if it takes more than 20 seconds.
