I'm making a site where my client wants this minimalist approach for her homepage. Will you look at it and tell me
1. What resolution you're viewing at,
2. what monitor size you use, and
3. if you can see the bottom line ("Custom Coordinated Invitations and... ) without scrolling?

Here's the page: Paper Occasions (http://www.jackson8.com/paperoc)

Thanks!

1. 1280 by 768 resolution

2. 13" monitor

3. I can't see the bottom line. :)

1. 1280 X 768

2. Not sure, but it's a laptop and quite tiny

3. Nope

The layout looks nice, I like the gray/pink. :)

13" Monitor??

If I win the lottery I'll be asking for your address. I'll send you a monitor :)

I'm hoping to find that it's all visible with users on a minimum of 1024x768 (which you are) and 15" monitor.

1. 1280 X 768

2. Not sure, but it's a laptop and quite tiny

3. Nope

The layout looks nice, I like the gray/pink. :)

Can you see everything but the bottom line, like with nauticalstar?

LOL yeah 13"...its my brother's laptop. My computer has a 19" monitor (but no internet :()

The page looks great so far! :)

Yes, it cuts off right above the last line. I can read "Paper Occasions" and see the design next to it without moving a thing.

... I realize too that it will depend on how many rows of toolbars a user is using...

I'm rooting around for a website that shows screenshots looking at it with varying settings...

Aah, too cool, I found some tools:

Browser Grid (http://www.wpdfd.com/browsergrid.htm)

Screen Size: A Web Tool Series — SizePuppy Web Design Tool! • Resize My Browser Window! (http://www.sizepuppy.com/)

AnyBrowser.COM - Screen Size Tester (http://www.anybrowser.com/ScreenSizeTest.html)

uh...

1024x768

15"

and no... i have to scroll down. one line of toolbar icons and crap at the bottom of my screen and one at the top of my browser.

im NOt going to try to tell you how to design, but personally, i dont need to read "welcome to" when the name of the page could be at the top. I think is wasted space to tell me what I'm going to see.. just show me without the intro...

Thanks for that input. I'm no design guru. All my "clients" are friends. It's more for fun than profit.

Viewing on my 14" laptop with FireFox, :

800X600 - can't see any text at bottom and image is cut off
1024X768 - can see last line (barely - bottom of text cut off)

Navigation and bookmarks toolbars are turned on, Status bar is turned on. Note that whether your clients see everything will depend on how they've configured the browser view.
