That large annoying gap on the right of webpages, does it annoy you? by Shaun Masterton |

This tip is more of a personal dislike that I've seen on many websites but I do believe my personal opinion on this is correct.
If you’re using a screen resolution that is 1024 x 768 or above, then you will have noticed websites that have a large gap at the right of the browser window. This to me looks like the webmaster is wasting a large area of space and I don't really wish to see a large empty space when I'm browsing a website.
The reason for this space is due to the webmaster leaving the page alignment at its default left and set the width parameter for page to be under 800 (usually set to 600 I believe). I can understand the reason for doing this, as someone on an 800 x 600 screen resolution doesn't have to scroll to see the full page. Obviously the higher the screen resolution goes, the bigger the gap on the right becomes.
I generally use percentages for my width parameters but if I wasn't to use the full 100% of a page. Then I would always align the page in the centre as this creates an equal amount of gap on the left and right. This to me isn't as annoying and it doesn't look like the webmaster has wasted a lot of space.
Keep in mind when you're assigning a gap somewhere in your web design, that the higher the screen resolution goes. The bigger the gap is going to be and may not look as good on higher resolutions as the one you designed it on.
