All websites and browsers are not created equally... This is important to consider when choosing a website building software or web design service BEFORE designing your site.

When possible, I try to provide some general information which is useful for my clients or anyone designing a site for the first time. The following article may help answer some questions you have.

A FEW USEFUL TIPS RE: WEB BROWSERS AND WEBSITE BUILDING SOFTWARE. THE DIFFERENCES IN HOW SITES LOOK AND WORK DEPENDING ON HOW THEY ARE MADE AND THE END-USER'S PC.

1) NOT ALL BROWSERS READ CODE THE SAME, OR DISPLAY THE WEB PAGE THE SAME. A PAGE THAT LOOKS ONE WAY IN IE7 WILL LOOK ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ON MOZILLA. EVEN THE SAME BROWSERS, IF DIFFERENT VERSIONS WILL DISPLAY PAGES DIFFERENTLY. Things like text and various elements may appear bigger, smaller, stretched, misaligned, etc depending on what browser you are using to view webpage with. The most advanced Internet Browser at this time is Microsoft's IE7, which does a pretty nice job of equalizing the user experience, by keeping webpages nearly exactly how they were created. When zooming in or out, IE7 also excels because it zooms the whole page in or out, where as lesser browsers most often only zoom the text, making a really weird looking page.

2) NOT ALL WEBSITE EDITORS WYSIWYG SOFTWARE CREATES HTML CODE THE SAME WAY. AS FRUSTRATING AS IT IS TO HAVE WEB PAGES LOOK DIFFERENT ON EVERY BROWSER, IT MAKES MATTERS EVEN MORE COMPLICATED WHEN THE SOFTWARE USED TO GENERATE THE CODE WHICH THE BROWSER WILL INTERPRET AND DISPLAY A WEBPAGE WITH, REACTS DIFFERENTLY AS WELL... COMPOUNDING AN ALREADY MESSY PROBLEM. Again, the safe bet is to use the most modern browser, designed for the majority of users, which is IE7 currently. IE7 does a better job of displaying the majority of web-pages built on various platforms, etc. Where by comparison the browser Firefox 2.0 was built to adhere to new XHTML and XHTML Strict guidelines set forth by the W3C. To make it lean and mean, they removed the backwards compatibility that IE7 has to view older web pages.

3) NOT ALL PCS HAVE THE SAME FONTS, JAVA, FLASH, ETC... NOT ALL MACS DO WHAT PCS DO... IF THINGS WERE NOT GOOFY ENOUGH WITH WEBSITE EDITORS MAKING CODE THAT VARIES AND WEBSITE BROWSERS NOT INTERPRETING THE CODE EQUALLY, THROW INTO THE MIX THE FACT THAT NOT ALL CPU MACHINES HAVE THE SAME SOFTWARE, SETTINGS AND FONTS EITHER! It's usually best to stick to just a few basics when designing a page for a wide audience. The less fancy, the better. Things like Flash, Music, Videos, or anything outside of just a page built with HTML, .jpg and .gif images, and Arial font, may not appear correctly.

4) NOT ALL SURFERS USE THE SAME MONITOR SCREEN RESOLUTIONS OR FONT SIZE. Yet making an ugly situation even worse, no two monitors are created equally and there are a huge number of different screen ratios. Most web designers shoot for a centered page which has the majority of it's main objective closer to the upper left quadrant of the page. Some people have their screen resolution set low, and others high. The worst combination is that which is often used by portable notebook computer users, who typically have a strangely shaped monitor, (not following any standard ratio), they often will use a high screen resolution i.e.; 1280 X 768 to fit the oddly "squished" monitor shape, which is small by design. The higher screen resolution in essence shrinks a web-page so that more of it is seen in the squished little monitor's view. However, because increasing the screen resolution makes everything smaller, so more of it can be displayed, the font becomes so small it's hard to read. Notebook users will then place font settings at handicap accessibility level of say 125%... This leads to a very odd looking display of tiny web-pages and BIG TEXT and presents the biggest challenge to web designers and browser makers. © 2008 Article By Todd Donald
