Changes at nwsvx.com

This might be a bit on the technical side of things, but we are in the middle of a big change on how the web site looks!

When the site came out a few months ago, it was optimized for a 800x600 screen resolution, pretty much the common standard for the last several years.

I recently checked the site statistics and found that almost 90% of the visits to our site have been by users with 1024x768 resolution on their systems. (I also saw a ton of other statistics that were pretty interesting )

Needless to say, with everyone having larger monitors and more complex operating systems, the trends have changed. So I have started to transition the old pages to a new size compatible with 1024x768.

So what does all this mean to the common user? Well, the best part is I get about 30% more "real estate" to use on each page. Things can be spaced out a bit more, extra features can be added without having to make the page even longer vertically, etc. For those of you using 1024x768, when you have your browser set on full screen, our web site will actually fill up the whole screen, rather than that 30% or so of just background on the right side.

For those of you using a smaller resolution (less than 5% on the stats), the only drawback is you will now have to scroll horizontally to see all the information.

Sorry for all the technical info, but please let me know what you guys think of the new look!
