Probably controversial, but to my mind 'optimized for 1024 x 768' harks back to the days of 'Optimized for Internet Explorer 5.0 at 1024 x 768', etc. I would go for something more like 'Layout should be flexible to adapt to the wide range of modern devices used to access the site. The page should be readable at a minimum 800x480(? - landscape mobile browser) upwards, with 1024 x 768 assumed to be the most common browser window size.' There have been a couple of posts recently about column drop down in smaller window sizes. > The intention is to have the website viewable in the most available medias. There are definitely medias she should consider: wide screens, regular screens, netbooks, mobile, print, etc. Related is how to accomplish this.. fluid site or fixed width? In either case, you bring up something to consider.
