Visual Notes
Check your site using different browsers. What viewers see when your site is downloaded depends on what browser they are using. Different browsers display the same Web site differently. Before you post your site on-line, check your site with the most popular browsers:
- • Netscape Navigator 7.x
- • Netscape Navigator 6.x
- • Netscape Navigator 4.x
- • Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x
- • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x
- • America Online 8.x.
Also make sure that you review your site on both a Mac and a PC as sometimes your Web site looks different depending on the platform. Design your site for various screen widths. Try to accommodate visitors regardless of the screen resolution they use. Some Web users still run their systems at 640 pixels by 480 pixels; keep this in mind when designing your site. Use your Web traffic analysis software to determine the screen resolution preferences of your visitors. See my next blog articles for more information on Web traffic analysis software and the reports you can access.
Your Web site should steer clear of scrolling marquee text. Scrolling marquees are difficult to read and are not compatible with all browsers. Simply post text directly on your pages if you have something important to say.
