Usually width of 950-960px works the best... The height must always be decided based upon -

a. whether you want any scrolling
b. how many elements you're going to fit in, and
c. would it look too clumpsy in 600px - and if yes, then increase it accordingly!

If you build the site with Drupal and use one of the new themes such as 'Pixture Reloaded' it does the job automatically for you!

If someone displays the website on a widescreen TV or widescreendesktop it has a default layout, but if someone views the same site on a tablet the layout adjusts accordingly including moving some of the side blocks to the bottom for example. If the same site is viewed on a phone the layout changes yet again.

The changes take place automatically, but during set-up you can chose the different layouts for the different screen sizes.

It really is the simplest option, and all automatic.

The standard size of screen

The standard size of screen resolution for any website/webpage is 1024x768 but don’t design a site wider than 1000 pixels because horizontal scrollbar will come on the most of the screen.

Look into responsive design.

Look into responsive design. This is a hot new trend in web design, and it basically means coding a site to "respond" automatically to different screen sizes. To do this, you can use flexible width layouts and media queries. Images can be a bit of an issue, but if you google around you'll find a bunch of possible solutions.

Do some searching for "responsive web design" and you'll find a lot more resources.
