The problem with this is that often there is a limit to how good it will look. Try to stick to layouts that look ok in a 600 to 900 px width and no more than like 2 screen height;s worth of vertical. OR Use a fixed width. These days 800 to 900 px seems to be the unwritten standard. measure web sites you like and learn from others. I have used px in discussing this but you should use EMs to specify fixed widths so that folks with low vision and resize more easily. You have two choices:

Some people use a low resolution. Therefore they have to scroll sideways. Some people use a high resolution. Therefore the page looks really small on their screen and they don't have to scroll. It also depends on how zoomed in you are. It all depends on people’s screen resolution.
