How wide should a responsive-designed website be?


Maybe this is a stupid question but I wonder if it changed.


Websites used to be 960px wide so all screen resolution could easily see all the content.


But with the new 'responsive-design' and html5 this isn't really nessesary, because people use responsive design for showing on mobile phones and tablets.


So my question:


What's the best width for a responsive-design on desktop?



Answer



Ultimately, the optimum width and breakpoints for a website depends on the content that it displays.



That said, the great part about responsive design is that you can cater towards not only smaller screens, but larger displays as well. You can use a 960 breakpoint, but you can also use 1200, 1400, etc.
