September 17, 201312 yr Hi guys I was given a PSD format of website layout and they want that their website be exactly like PSD (even the sizes and ...) here is my question, is there any problem with designing all the website and most of the its content specially height with pixels? I mean the website works very well on my monitor (13') but will the website work the same way in other monitors (15' or 17')? will be any page structure destruction? (sorry for poor english) thanks Edited September 17, 201312 yr by stallman3738
September 17, 201312 yr It's not the be all and all to use pixels, but it might be better to either try using percentages or ems. I also work on a 13inch screen in principle, but you need to test on as many physical devices as possible, or make use of virtual options. Sometimes a site looks great on a 13inch screen at approximately 1200 pixels, but head up to a larger monitor or an HDTV and the results can vary greatly. Look into your breakpoints as well.
