Cross Browser Compatibility

You might be asking, "What is cross-browser compatibility?" Well, it's basically a term that's used to describe a website that looks the same in all browsers. Why is this important? Browsers differ in how they render websites, depending upon what version you might be using. Some browsers contain more bugs and quirks that can greatly affect the design or layout of your pages. These differences between browsers can cause web designers headaches in trying to learn how to make your website look the same across all browsers, both old and new.

Thankfully, there are ways around these quirks, which will enable ALL of your users to receive the same message and design as everyone else.

The latest statistics show that Internet Explorer is still the most popular choice of browser for internet users. Although this fact is true, this browser is increasingly declining in popularity as a result of more modern browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox and Opera browsers. Nonetheless, websites should be designed with all users in mind, not just ones who have the most recently updated browsers.

When I design your site, your site will be compatible across all internet browsers, ensuring that ALL visitors to your site are seeing it the way it should be, ALL the time.
