I'm going with a first page that is longer and will therefore need to scroll. Do I just build it to size 1024 x however long it needs to be?

Also, regardless of the page I'm talking about above, is the standard web page size 1024 x 768?

Thanks,
Tommie

I am pretty sure 1025x768 is a standard size but some people choose to make it a little smaller to ensure good viewing on smaller monitors. Of course for this project that doesn't matter too much. The length depends on how much content you have in the web page. If you're doing a list of images for example you should measure the length of each image in px and decide how much of a space you want in between each one (eg. 10 px margins, 20px margins, etc) and then add it all up and leave yourself a margin at the bottom of like, 20-50 px or so. So If you want a 150px banner on top and have 5 images that are all 300px long and have 10px margins, the page should be around 1025x1700 or something like that (oh god I hope my math is right). It's kind of a pain in the ass but as far as I know, it's the best way to figure it out. I hope this makes sense ;-;

That's a great answer! Thank you Cheyanne!
