test your site on more than one browser
What I’m going to tell you about today is very important specially if you manage your own website. Have you ever though how your website looks in a different browser or a different browser? Does a Windows user have any idea how his site looks through a Mac or vice versa? Probably not.
A real site owner who cares about what he is doing would be very concerned to know how his browser would look through different browsers and OS. It is very important to know how your website looks through every different browser and Operating System. The page may get realigned and the text boxes you want and the top may go down and the picture at the right side of the page may go elsewhere. So when you have designed and run your own website you should also know how it looks.
Test how your site looks through different browsers. Test it in the popular ones like Internet Explorer & Mozilla and also on the lesser used ones like Opera, Safari, Sea Monkey, Galeon etc. Don’t think that by testing it on the popular ones you’ve done your job. You haven’t. A great number of internet users use other browsers and you do not want them to visit your site, find that it doesn’t work properly and be let down.
As a site owner it is your job to cater to all sorts of customers and not be restrictive. If you ignore certain kinds of browsers you are only lessening the number of visitors to your site. Also don’t be under the impression that no one uses these browsers because they do. Probably not a huge number but together if you ignore all of them you’ll lose out on quite a bit of internet traffic on your site.
