80 Large Background Websites
As the monitor resolution and internet speed is advancing, it seems like more and more designers use over-sized photo or illustrated image as the website’s background. Large background image can create the stunning visual effect, especially for high resolution monitors. It can also add more life to your site design compared to the traditional tiled background graphic. Here is a collection of 80 websites that used large image as the site background (must-see, you won’t be disappointed).

I really dislike fixed-width designs. I bought a widescreen monitor for a reason.

I think http://www.csslayout.com/ is an awesome website. And not just because I too am a Canadian web designer :). I like the simplicity, the visual ease, the shininess. Also the effectiveness of showing off their web design portfolio. Sexy.
