Of course, the general guideline is to optimize for your target audience's most common resolution, so the size will change in the future. It might even be a different size now, if, say, you're designing an intranet for a company that gives all employees big monitors.
* Do not design solely for a specific monitor size because screen sizes vary among users. Window size variability is even greater, since users don't always maximize their browsers (especially if they have large screens).
* Use a liquid layout that stretches to the current user's window size (that is, avoid frozen layouts that are always the same size).

what is a liquid layout do i need to worry about this
can someone shed some light on what size my website page's should be
and what works best for you lot
