Larger Viewpoint Approach

[johnsmith0251]

Hey there!

I was hoping to get some input on handling larger viewpoints.

Specifically, I'm curious about your thoughts on stretching the content to fit the full screen like Apple, or keeping it at 1900px and adding white space to the left and right like Microsoft.

I'm having trouble deciding on which approach to take and would really appreciate any advice you might have.

Thank you!

Personally, I always design my sites setting the default to 1900px. You could go larger but the # of users that truly use screens bigger than that is small. Those who do will have some space on the right and left. Also, I don't typically stretch the content inside to utilize the entire 1900px (edge to edge). I still have spacing on the right and left. For example, if I use a grid my setup is usually 1x 10x 1x.

Whats your thoughts behind this?

Viewpoint from my perspective depends on design, content, aesthetics and other stuffs too. But if I advice on how much should be the viewpoint I can suggest that if you have a lot of text content then widen the viewpoint but if you have less then even 970 would do fine. When I make websites or redesign it for clients I use varieties of viewpoint depending on design and content. One thing to note that you do not need to use view point more than 1900 as you mentioned. If you checkout websites such as Adobe, Amazon, Microsoft their viewpoint is not that much. Microsoft as you mentioned their viewpoint is 1920px but the actual content of the page which is the texts and the cards inside are in 1596px viewpoint as I checked the homepage.

So If I suggest then from my perspective try to finish the design then adjust your viewpoint after that and see how things look. If you use responsive layout then it would be safe and easy for you to see how a website may look larger or in a smaller viewpoint.
