Many of our customers come to us AFTER they have tried to set up their own website. Often these customers are overwhelmed and frustrated – why? Because the web is not print. When you create a word document or a power point presentation, all of your graphical elements and text are easily created and always display exactly how you want.
This is not the case on the web.
When you build your Web page and test it in your favorite browser, it may look exactly how you want it to look. But when you test it in a different browser, how does it look? I guarantee it will look completely different. So different in fact, that users may not be able to view your page at all!
As a web developer, every site we create is tested on Internet Explorer 7, 6 and 5.5, as well as Safari and Firefox. This covers the major browsers and about 98% of your audience. This allows (almost) complete coverage without having to spend a fortune developing hacks for smaller lesser known browsers.
If you are not sure if what your website looks like on other browsers you can test it by downloading and installing Firefox, Safari and Multiple IE’s.
