I have built a site and it looks fine when the screen is full size but cuts off when you make the screen smailler. What can I do to keep it looking the same on different screen sizes?

Jump to PostNot much. There are actually lots of things you CAN do, but it's questionable whether you SHOULD. My rule of thumb is to design a site for an 800x600 browser. That's plenty of room, and most people have their screens at 1024x768 now.
