With the coming of numerous monitor sizes, “fluid” web sites are becoming less common. The result is that fluid layouts look “old” because they were typically used more in the early days of the internet.

Article referencing to web design across cultures, is very informative and thoroughly explained which can be useful to lot of beginners who are going to try to target different cultures. Landing pages should be designed to appeal the locals which is much more of importance because that is the first thing they are going to look at. Statical data isnot so impressive needs correction.

“blue backgrounds with black or white text have been shown to be the most universally approved.” I am glad this article is out there, I have been an advocate of blue sites for years. Thank you for sharing.

Although I love the concept of the article and the information within, your interpretation of the initial statistics is a bit unnerving:

“it’s worth taking into account that you’re only going to be reaching out to 22% of your potential audience.”

You’re using a statistic for first/native language, and ignoring every bilingual person assuming if it’s not their first language, then it’s unusable. This is quite innacurate.

Look at another page on that same statistical website, which I believe has more accurate representation of information:
http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats7.htm

English is #1 by a decent margin, and below Chinese #2, there is a very significant gap down to Spanish.

I understand that you were trying to give perspective in favor of your article topic, but that perspective is a bit skewed and misrepresented.

There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.

I don’t think that the type of font is important to those people, but being able to read it comfortably – yes. Every UX designer will tell you that sans-serif fonts are better to read from screen than the serif ones. Plus you have all examples you need to get the mesage: http://www.guardian.co.uk/.

They use serif fonts only for the headlines etc and sans-serif for the body type. And i think they have paid a lot of money to some top-skilled UX desiner to tell them that!
