You have a few different options..
First you could just make your layout less than 800 pixels wide so it will fit on even the smallest resolution used today (if you do this it will look much better if you centre your layout)

Secondly you could use a java script function to find the resolution of the users screen and direct them to a specialised version of your layout based on the result (Google "screen resolution detection")
