Can you afford to ignore 17 Million users?People Use Different Browsers
Close to 17 Million people use something other than Internet Explorer when cruising the Internet.
Different Browsers Break Pages. If you aren't checking your pages under different browsers and computers combinations, you are potentially writing off business with anyone not using your specific computer configuration. Why? Look at the picture below. This page looked fine under Internet Explorer, but a simple HTML error kept it from opening in Netscape.
People Use Different Computers
PCs may dominate the market, but there's over 5 Million people who use the Internet via a different platform. Apples still make up 12% of the market.
People Use Different Versions of Browsers
Even different browser versions will display your pages differently. And newer versions aren't always better. In the case below, Netscape 6 couldn't handle the DHTML even though Netscape 4 rendered the page perfectly.
People Use Different Screen Sizes
A different screen size can dramatically change the way your page appears. The webmaster built the page below to look great on a 1024 x 768 screen size. Unfortunately the important map on the right of the page is off the screen when viewed on a smaller screen size.
What Can You Do?
Before any webmaster publishes a Web page, that page should be checked on all the major browsers and computers. Failure to create a compatible Web page can cause visitors to leave your site - never to return. You could test your pages manually, but it would require you to set up a testing facility at a conservative estimate of $4500. Why bother? Browser Photo will do it for you quickly, easily and inexpensively.
