What Lastest Trends Should Be Use By Designers And Developers For Best Viewing Experience Of Any Website?
Every web developer or web designer wants to have their website to give users the same best experience no matter what the users screen size/resolution/operating system/browser is, but let’s face the fact, screen size/resolution/operating system/browser does effect website experience.
I get asked the question often, especially by web developers and designers, what is the most common type of screen size/resolution/operating system/browser. Well, to identify this we started capturing data on screen size/resolution/operating system/browser for people who visited our SmashingApps.com. This is what we found
Screen Resolution Statistics
We found in the above graph that now a days most common screen resolution used by the visitor is 1280×1024 while 1024×768 is on 2nd number and 1280×800 is on the 3rd for SmashingApps.
