Ensure That Everyone Can Properly View Your Website
Overview
Many novice web designers make the mistake of testing their websites on only one screen resolution and browser. However, people use a variety of monitors and browsers, and neglecting this can limit the reach of your site. Ensuring compatibility across different platforms is crucial to accessing your full audience.
Key Considerations
Screen Resolutions
Screen resolution refers to the number of pixels displayed on a screen. When creating a website, focus on horizontal pixels to avoid users needing to scroll sideways. I typically design for a width of 768 pixels, which balances accommodating older systems while providing a good experience for modern users.
Resolution Statistics:
- 800 x 600: 14% of users- 1024 x 768: 60% of users
- 1280 x 1024: 26% of users
To ensure flexibility, consider using relative screen widths by setting tables to 100% width. This allows your site to adjust to various screen sizes efficiently.
Testing Your Website
To verify how your website appears across different resolutions:
1. Right-click on your desktop and select Properties.
2. Navigate to the Settings tab.
3. Adjust the slider to different resolutions and confirm by clicking OK.
4. Review your website at each setting to check for horizontal scrolling.
Browser Compatibility
If you’re using a web editor, be aware that websites may appear differently on various browsers. While Internet Explorer is popular, ensuring your site works well on Firefox, Netscape, and Opera is important. If possible, test on a Mac too. This broadens your site's accessibility across different user preferences.
Usability and Accessibility
Website accessibility ensures ease of use for all online users, regardless of their equipment or software age. Prioritize functionality over aesthetic features that might exclude some users. Adapting your website to a wider audience can enhance user satisfaction and be beneficial for your business.
Conclusion
Ignoring diverse screen resolutions and browser compatibility can alienate a significant portion of your audience. By designing with accessibility in mind, you improve your website's usability, reach more users, and ultimately support your business goals effectively.
