Why You Should Make Sure Your Website Appears Normal In Most Major Browsers

By Mary Johnson


Having opened your own website, you must be overjoyed at the great look of it and all the possibilities that will be awaiting you. This is until you get the following message on your site from one of the visitors. It says: "please check out your graphic design, it looks a bit off to me. Thank you." This definitely pours cold water on your joy. The fact is, instead of crying about it and letting it get you down, you need to get it fixed as quickly as possible.

There is a general false belief that all the web browser programs, the likes of Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Internet, can translate the content of our web page and put it exactly as it appears there. This is however, not the true fact. Web pages are normally written with a combination of CSS, Flash, PHP, and also HTML.

All these are programming languages that are very well known to all web designers who use them to create the site. Of course there are some standards about the application of these languages in displaying information, but most often than not, how they are interpreted is quite liberal. That is where the problem can arise from.

The accepted rule for web designers is for them to create a site that looks good to the main web browsers. Web designers also accept that many versions are available to the web browsers that can use many operating systems and everything can be checked out.

The browsershots is where you will get the web page code and display your site in the various browsers perfectly. You would be able to see each screen snapshots so that you would save them on the computer if you feel like. You would see them more clearly. It is easy to check if your site is not well placed.

If you have enough money, just go for the correct displays that appear great on all the main browsers and stick with that type of setup.

Making a good choice is possible so go for the browsers that are common with many users. Use Wikipedia:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage-share-of-web-browsers

It is wise to also check the websites and see how they appear on the main search engines "spider," that will enable you to see how the whole picture looks. You will get a perfect idea of how the site would be seen in the other search engines and what you will use to do this is called Search Engine Spider Simulator.
