Re your basic configuration:
- monitor size in not relevant (resolution is all that matters)
- 640x480 can be "safely" dropped for 800x600 minimum

| Where to begin...
| Pray!  A lot!  No seriously. there are so many factors to
| consider it is mind-boggling.  First know the demographics
| of your target audience.  Have a thorough design plan
| using the inverted pyramid method, as well as mind-mapping.
|
| Then there are the different web safe colors, different
| fonts for three of the most popular browsers (Netscape,
| Microsoft and Apple). Frames versus tables, different
| scripting languages, and the "Design Truths":
| Always develop to the lowest common denominator and do
| your usability testing with as many various HW/SW
| configurations by a team of mostly naive end-users.
|
| This may be a little dated, but develop to this basic
| configuration:
| - 15" monitor
| - 640x480 screen resolution
| - 56 KB modem
| - Browsers 4.0 and greater
| - And remember that very few users will take the time to
| download plug-ins.
|
| REMEMBER, you have ten seconds before the average end user
| loses interest and moves on, so a lot of white space along
| with quality content is the KEY! Use the newspaper as a
| metaphor, give them the headline and a little information
| on the front page, the a link to the rest of the
| information.
|
| Did I mention pray??  &#61514; Good luck!!
