Retail Website Layout Overview
Posted by jonpape | Filed under Usability
I know Smashing Magazine (one of the best blogs on the planet) complied a similar list a couple months ago but I build my own list that including sites that I monitor on a regular basis.
| Shopping Site Layout Overview | |||
| Merchant | Fixed or Fluid Width | Minimum Width | Alignment |
| Amazon | Fluid | 980 px | Left |
| Best Buy | Fixed | 790 px | Left |
| Circuit City | Fixed | 980 px | Centered |
| Costco | Fixed | 770 px | Left |
| HomeDepot | Fixed | 795 px | Centered |
| JCPenneys | Fixed | 775 px | Centered |
| Kmart | Fixed | 800 px | Centered |
| Kohls | Fixed | 985 px | Centered |
| Kroger | Fixed | 960 px | Centered |
| Macys | Fixed | 900 px | Centered |
| Meijer | Fixed | 775 px | Centered |
| Overstock | Fixed | 960 px | Centered |
| QVC | Fixed | 915 px | Centered |
| Sears | Fixed | 800 px | Centered |
| Target | Fixed | 730 px | Centered |
| Walmart | Fixed | 740 px | Centered |
Additionally, I thought it could be interesting to compare the percentage of sites that use a standard monitor size (800×600) to a larger monitor size (1024×768).
| Browser | Percentage |
| 800×600 | 56% |
| 1024×768 | 44% |
