Cross Browser Website Testing Advice
For small business website owners unfamiliar with the term "cross browser compatibility", it may be time to learn. Simply stated, it means the html or xhtml code used to create your website is compatible and your pages will display properly regardless of the brand of browser your website visitor prefers.
The chart below compares browser usage by brand from January to December 2007. Statistics show that 55% of website visitors use the current Internet Explorer, IE7, or one of the older IE6 or IE5 browsers to view websites. That leaves another 45% of potential customers that do not use Internet Explorer to view your site.
My advice is testing your small business website in all 5. Below are the five best known browsers, and links to their offical website download page.
I suggest you get each of these free browsers and test your small business website to ensure each of your visitors has the most positive first impression possible. If graphics or text gets pushed around or out of place when comparing the view in different browsers, a design review may be in order. Feel free to contact me for advice, as well.
