You know having an online presence is a must for your business. So you have spent all this money on your website - hired a web designer, graphic designer, ensured the meta tags were in order, discussed architecture, landing pages, etc. etc. After weeks of back-and-forth you see the final draft. You are excited.
You fire up Internet Explorer and look at the website proof. You look pleased. A few minor tweaks and you give a go-ahead to go live. Your marketing and sales team are so excited - that they can’t stop promoting it to your clients and prospects. But WAIT! Did you test the site on different browsers?
Different Browsers?
Huh, what’s that you ask? Ok - unless you have been living under the rock for the last decade, you know that Internet Explorer is not the only web browser. There are over 15 browsers with respective versions for a number of operating systems. So, did you test your website to see if it renders the same way in all the browsers. You do not know what operating system or browser your visitors use - so you have got to test your website against all the browsers.
Browser tests
The good news is that you do not have to install all the browsers. Test your web design in different browsers does it for you. It is a cool website that takes a snapshot of your website on a number of different browsers. Your get to see on one page how your site looks in a number of browsers.
It’s free too. No reason why should not test your site now. You can always decide to change your design to that 0.03% of the visitors who use the Galeon browser.
