Here here! This is the "essence" of professional vs. amateur web design
today (IMHO):

"Always keep resolution in mind.  It is possible, with a bit of intelligent
design, to create a site that looks stunning on all resolutions."

I Agree,

Ever since I bought new equipment and started working at 1600*1200, I very
rarely surf in a maximised browser window.  In fact, I usually resize the
browser to approximately 800*600 pixels!

It is true that a lot of people now use 1024*768, but, according to hit
statistics for all of my sites, 800*600 is still the most common resolution.

Therefore, it occurs to me that sites should be acceptable at 640*480 (ie.
no important bits chopped off), and should be able to look good at 800*600
and 1024*768.

Always keep resolution in mind.  It is possible, with a bit of intelligent
design, to create a site that looks stunning on all resolutions.
