        We have a minimum design width of 300.  Add 10 pixels to each side of that for margins, and we are at 320.

        I'd like to know what people are using for a max desktop width.

        Wikipedia will span the full width of any desktop monitor and be responsive down to at least 300.

        The Washington post is about 1200 wide and is totally responsive down to about 300 - by abandoning columns.

        The New York Times is about 1000 wide, but does not respond until the browser width gets down to about 500 - allowing content to be lost off the right side of the screen.

          I think it depends on what you wish to accommodate on the screen.

          We have adopted a more mobile based design from 300 to 767 which makes certain items more prominent or vertically aligned and then from 768 up to 1600+ is our dedicated "all elements" visible desktop version.

          That way our desktop style generally works on the majority of tablets and larger screen sizes where more data easily easier to absorb.

          Hope that helps.

          • It appears that Googlebot Mobile will look for mobile redirects from the desktop site, but still use the SEO from the desktop site.
