Great advice from Marc.  One additional small thing to consider if

you'll be including screenshots or other bitmaps (which don't resize

well):  make sure that 800x600 is the size you want before you start

designing.  If you'll be transferring the content to the web someday and

want to run it in a browser window as opposed to a popup window, you'd

be better off with content that's something like 750x450 (maybe even

filling the surrounding area with background color to make your

standalone fullscreen at 800x600). Just a thought (one that came after

the fact for me when I did a project similar to yours).


Regards,

Helen
