Size of website?

I am making a homepage, but what size should it be? I want to make it in photoshop, then have someone code it for me. Any ideas? Thanks

You mean width? Why not make it fluid? If you do make it look good in 800X600 but still good in a very wide screen.

I know the coder might be able to solve that but should there be anything I should look out for when creating the base image layout in photoshop?

I use either 700 or 750 px. Make sure it fits most resolutoins. It looks bad when there are two scroll bars.

yeah this was a concern for me to, mine was a bit big for those who use 800x600.

Not many people use 800x600 anymore though, do they?

Most monitors now a days are 1000 x 800 px or larger, so I suggest you make the sites around 800px-850px (too bad, 800 x 600 people, you'll just have to scroll). Of course, my preferenece is to set the width to 95% of the screen resolution, which makes it perfect on every monitor (unless it's ridiculously large).
