What's the advantage of a fixed width website over a fluid width?

From a readability standpoint, I believe fixed width works better since we learn to read in fixed columns. If they are too narrow or too wide, the content is difficult to read. Fluid width sites make sense if the site is providing Software as a Service.

For example, the spreadsheets in Google Docs expands to the maximum size of the browser. This gives you more columns to work with. Yet, Google (word) Documents are fixed width and doesn't expand or scale to the browser width.

Again, this most likely behaves as expected when reading or writing documentation.

In my hub I have tried to concisely address this subject of liquid vs fixed width which you can review for your general understanding..hubpages.com/hub/Fixed-Width-or-Liquid-Widt.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
