Facebook and Twitter are the most common social media sites being used to promote freelancing businesses. As you may have noticed, Twitter has redesigned the layout of the Twitter Homepage. It gives better support for multimedia applications such as videos and pictures, keyboard shortcuts and easier access to other kinds of content.

However, the new Twitter layout is obviously affecting the look of your Twitter background design. With this new layout, 100% of Twitter users or your followers will always see at least 41 pixels on each side. In today's post you will find out more about the detail interface dimensions for your new Twitter background, resources you can use in creating it, along with beautiful Twitter backgrounds for your inspiration.
