When these pages are displayed on smaller computer screens, the browser may not be able to fit all the content onto the screen. In these cases the content scrolls to the right of the page and is rarely viewed by visitors. This problem should be easy to avoid, yet a surprising number of otherwise well-designed Web sites don’t fit within the standard 800-pixel PC computer screen.
