From last five years, I had been using fluid widthtemplates on my websites. Recently, I decided to change my fluid width Wordpress theme to fixed theme. Majority of web designers prefer fixed layouts to fluid ones because they give the assurance that what the designer sees, the user sees. Fixed templates are also easier to edit and customize in terms of design. Since widths are the same for every browser, so you can set some fixed standards for images, website forms, video and other content. The length of the web pages stays constant no matter how wide the viewer’s browser window is. I have fixed my website on the assumption that today, majority of Internet users have a screen resolution of 1024×768 or higher.
Let’s see how to change fluid width wordpress theme to fixed theme. It is very simple and involves two straightforward steps.
Just create a div called, say “boxer”, and add this to style.css:
#boxer {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 960px;
}
margin: 0 auto;
width: 960px;
}
Add <div id=”boxer”> just after <body> in your header.php and </div> just before </body> in your footer.php
I will recommend 960px,if you want to optimize your website for 1024×768 screen resolution as it’s slightly smaller than full width, and it’s divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 16 and also 960-pixel-wide layout is the most popular, and most standard, fixed width layout on internet and is not going to decline soon.
