There are many schools of thought on this matter. There are basically two extremes for how the page width is chosen. One is to make it completely fluid and display at any width. The
Technokat Site is pretty close to this, if their logo was a bit slimmer the page could display on 640x480 monitors on up. On the other end are pages like
Kika Mana's That are set at a fixed width. (798px in this case) In between are pages like
Team 228's that have a minimum and maximum width. (770px and 935px in this case) As for which to use, I'd say make it as fluid as possible, while preserving presentation, and please, please, please don't use tables. Tables (particularly nested ones) make pages harder to navigate for the visually disabled. <div> and <span> tags along with a little CSS is a much better way to do layout. (gives you more control too)
