Webpage sizing issue

Okay, well I decided to try to make a new home page for my website in photoshop, then make the button animations in fireworks and then export it as a javascript rollover and open in in dreamweaver to set the button links, however when I opened it in dreamweaver I realized it was way too small to fit the entire page, and there was a lot of white left.

Common sense tells me to resize it in photoshop then re-do the button animations with the new size in fireworks...however I have no idea what size I'd need to make it so that it looked relatively proper given any common screen resolution? Can someone suggest some dimensions?

EDIT: Uploaded it to my server so you could see what I meant.

You could, you know, actually write some HTML and CSS.

Images can't just magically scale themselves to the correct size.

You are going to have to learn some HTML. This will help you size it. What kind of code do you have for your site right now? Did you just make it in photoshop and are having special areas to click on?

Well your first problem is you are using tables, which is fine but not reall acceptable if you as for professionals.

Secondly, I see no white space?

I re-did it and set the background to black and centered it with the limited coding I know to get rid of the white. And it's not supposed to be a big special business webpage...just a canadian pb community.

It's not actually tables...it's lines.

Code:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="1000">
Table.

Have some text showing when you roll over the buttons too.

Just so you know, the page is going to load super slow because it is just a huge picture. You should really look into a little bit of coding. It's not hard to pick up at all.

.

Instead of putting pictures in your cells, just type the text and apply a background color or use CSS. Obivously keeping the actual pictures as pictures, though.

It actually is not that hard. It just takes time.

Code:
<td width="140" height="140" bgcolor="#00CCFF"> Hello world</td>

Hello world is the generic placeholder/test text for HTML and other stuff.

Just replace the pictures in your cells with text. Will cut down on loading time.
