Why are websites not full screen?
This is caused by the HTML programming on the page being viewed. The web page designer limited the height or width of the pictures and text displayed in the browser window. This is normal. NOTE: This most often occurs when using a screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher.
Should websites be full width?
Full-width gives the appearance that your website doesn't have boundaries. The background image stretches across the entire width of the page. This kind of Content Width Design is great for modern, innovative website designs.
Why are websites so narrow?
The reason they designed it with a fixed maximum width is that if the website actually used all available space without enlarging fonts, you'd have very long horizontal lines of text that are hard to read.
How do I get my web pages to open full size?
Make the browser window fullscreen
On a Windows computer, you can set Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox to full-screen mode, hiding the toolbars and address bar by pressing the F11 key. To reverse this action and show these items again, press F11 again.
