I have explored many websites and I can say that most of the websites these days are based on 1024 x 768 resolution. By the way this article is quite unique in dealing with one of the important factors.

We now design all our websites in 1024×768.
Why ? After looking at Google Analytics of one huge site in our system ( over 1.4 mil impression/day). What we got are: 8.2% users see our page in 800×600 screen. Others are using 1024 and above.

Compatibility has been an issue with websites for years, not just on a screen level, but coding and browsers also. As the saying goes “you can’t please them all”; this is an undeniably accurate statement when it comes to the websites available today.
