Default Do you prefer liquid layouts or fixed width layouts for the pages you design?

Liquid layouts
Fixed width layouts
or does it depends upon the situation

i prefer to use liquid layouts wherever it is possible, as then i don't have to think so much about compatiibility on different resolutions.

It really does depend on what you prefer to work with and what kind of site you're working on. I personally prefer to used fixed width just because I use lots of images when I'm creating websites.

Fixed Width Layouts:
Fixed layouts are layouts that start with a specific size, determined by the Web designer. They remain that width, regardless of the size of the browser window viewing the page. Fixed width layouts allow a designer more direct control over how the page will look in most situations. They are often preferred by designers with a print background, as they allow the designer to make minute adjustments to the layout and have them remain consistent across browsers and computers.

Liquid Layouts:
Liquid layout are layouts that are based on percentages of the current browser window's size. They flex with the size of the window, even if the current viewer changes their browser size as they're viewing the site. Liquid width layouts allow a very efficient use of the space provided by any given Web browser window or screen resolution. They are often preferred by designers who have a lot of information to get across in as little space as possible, as they remain consistent in size and relative page weights regardless of who is viewing the page.
