RE: Design of 'fixed-width' websites, optimized for universal readability across all screen-size resolutions (i.e., best viewed, with no horizontal scrolling, over broadest range of both desktop/laptop & mobile-device browsers) – What is currently considered an ideal standard for 'maximum page-width' (meas. in pixels)?
Answer
If you are going to go with a fixed width approach, your best option IMO would most likely be based on your sites analytic first. If you don't have analytic's you could build toward the most commen screen size based on global internet analytics, sites like StatCounter provide fairly reliable data.
If you serve a very large amount of users and there is no clear cut/primary screen size (view port for a more modern approach), I would suggest looking into other avenue like Responsive Design. Many sites try to server to all resolutions sizes end up heading toward Responsive Design. Good article to read on A List Apart by Ethan Marcotte; if you are unsure of what Responsive Design is.
