I agree with Marco, 720px is usually a good in-between, to make it perfect for ALL mobile only really by doing a mobile version. 

I prefer left-alignment usually (call me left wing maybe!), but that's really a matter of personal taste. Probably center alignment is more overall matching.

best,
pedro

agree!!

should we stick to margin: 0 auto, so to center it, or people is more left/ish?
on my website the width is 720px and centered, which I find a good compromise for both laptop and mobile browsers.

thoughts?

hello

can i put a suggestion in for "fixed width" rather than "stretched"?
"fixed" will retain all the design elements and text nicely....
stretched just looks sloppy to me.
