What screen resolution do you aim for when you do web design?

Remember that ~40% of all users still run 800x600 althouth that number is decreasing.
I design under 1024x768 with another pc at 800x600 right beside me to
check as I go. Also, the webdev extension for FF helps with this a tad.

I still design for 800x600, but always use a variable width approach, so if you use a higher resolution, you will benefit from the extra width.
See my latest (still ongoing) project: www.kahombo.com
This is a web page for a night club, and this people are very demanding, still have to get the uploads working since I don't want to use COM. Also for the first time have to use Flash, because they want things moving and blinking around the site... Only with me.

Nice looking site. Unfortunately it's my sister in my family that speaks Portuguese, and not me...
Get them to give you some more material to work with. Seems to me like some graphics, video, audio would "pump the party" for a club site.

Yeah the Portuguese issue on the site was also major and first time for me, even thou it's my native language, I'm having some dificulty making the translation sometimes, English terms rock. I asked them for material, but they don't seam interested, I'll do the flashy things and upload script (almost finished) and job done.
Your site is nice also, you are using DotNetNuke which is quite nice, but it uses Javascript for navigaton, and since my Internet Zone is set to high, I can't see it, only if I add your site to my Trust Area, Javascript is great for client side validation but relying on it for navigation can cause problems with security conscious clients like me.

800x600 for fixed-width, ecommerce, or international sites, 1024x768 for intranet stuff, otherwise I try to use variable width sites.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
