I have enough info to make a basic static website, my site is www.teamquintana.com I'm a realtor. Although It looks OK I know I didn't do alot of things I should when I built it. I'm using Dreamweaver and basically can put in pictures and make links. My problem is I built it in a higher resolution and when someone views it in 600x800 they have to scroll. I don't know how to make it appear in the full screen in proportion to the browser setting they have. Please help, this is just one of my problems. If any want to look at the site and has other suggestions please help.

Thanks!

it needs to be layed out using %percentage values instead of fixed-pixel values.

that way it will 'squeeze' & 'stretch' itself according to the browser window.

you need to take graphic sizes into consideration when building it like this, try to keep them to minimum sizes and cut repetative graphics to be background images, to get rid of ugly scroll bars in small resolutions.

i've answered this in your other post,

if your just looking to stretch it all to 100% then set the height & width elements onto the div holding the picture, not the picture itself.
