Default Are Our Trusted Designers fooling us about "cushions&q

Hi,

We had a site designed by our designers. Everything looks nice, BUT if you view our site in resolution 800 x 600 there is absolutely no space (cushion) on left and right sides of the page.

So basically, it doesn't look too good. I mentioned it to them and here is the reply I got.

Thank you for your reply. We have just discussed this issue with our designers today evening and it seems like quite a difficult fix at this stage of the project. As per the internet standards all websites are designed at a fixed pixel size of 780 pixels to make it uniformely appear on all screen resolutions above 800 X 600. In order to make a "Cushion" appear on the sides of all the pages we'll be required to reduce the size of over 150 PHP files, with 780 pixels width which make take us 1 week (minimum) to implement.

Moreover, this would also affect the alignment of all pages and their table structures which may further take us 1 week to re-align properly hence, we
do not recommend implementing this change at all. Still, in case you need to get the re-alignment of all pages done, we shall be charging $1500 additional for this as this includes minimum of 15 man days of work and we would be required to re-build all pages from scratch.

So ... what do you think?
