Paysite tour page sizes and loads

[RedCherry]

I hate those panel tours. I might keep it 750 wide, but it will be long down the page. I am doing a "reality" style tour, since the content is niche, exclusive, and could lend itself to that style of tour, and that is they type of site I am comfortable designing, lol.

I have decided all that, even if I make the tour slightly wider, I will make sure the members area has no side scroll in an 800w screen resolution.

There is no magic, but as SirMoby said, it you are aiming to a higher end clientelle, then you probably can let yourself sneak out to nearer 1000 wide without too much problem, or at least using a full 800 rather than 720 or so to assure no side scroll.
