I made the mistake of developing a website at 1024x768... I know, I know... I didn't even think about it until it was finished. Anyway, I want the site to be at 800x600. Is there an easy way to resize everything so it fits within the 800x600 resolution. Any utilities available, or will have to do everything manually? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

I don't think that there is anything like this on the market right now.

It woud be an awesome tool though.....especially if there was a way to detect resolution like there you can detect the browser so that you could throw them a different version. ;)

Welcome ZexDelSol,

I sort of specialize in resizable layouts. Post or email me the site and I'll see if I can advise you.

Cheers

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, ZexDelSol!

One solution that is supposed to work is to use cascading style sheets (CSS), and just resize everything smaller. Unfortunately there are so many bugs with CSS that this is unlikely to work correctly. So unfortunately you will probably need to resize things by hand. One thing that may help is to use Server Side Includes (SSI) to reduce the work necessary.

Yes there is an easy way,

1. Open a page and set the table size to less than 800px

2. make sure everything else within the page is scaled to the same ratio.

3. apply steps 1 -2 on all pages in site

Easy huh ;)

I think photoshop lets you batch process images so you could get it to resize all your images to 80% (or whatever the % is) and hopefully this would help you a bit. It wont be perfect by any means but if you want to save the time it would take to redo everything then it may be an option.
