Are fluid websites worth making anymore?
I'm making a website now and I am trying to decide if I should make it fluid or not. Fixed width websites are much easier to make and also much easier to make them appear consistent.
To be honest though, I personally prefer looking at fluid websites that stretch to the full width of my monitor. My question comes from the fact that in most modern browsers you can hold control and scroll your mouse wheel to basically resize any website.
So is creating a fluid website worth the trouble?
Answer
It depends on your audience and your content.
The following are sites I respect and I think are example to imitate.
Fluid Examples:
Static Examples:
Some Mix it Up!
I think I prefer static most of the time. It is easier to make it look good in more browsers. It is also easier to read.
