Seeing your website as others see it
Filed Under Graphics
While on the Guerrilla Marketing Association call on Wednesday, one of the questions Roger asked was how I got into website design.
Originally, I never planned on it. I didn’t really like web design (gasp!)
I hated it because I could never really tell what others were seeing when they looked at my site. In print, more often than not, what was on my screen was what got reproduced in print. So, when I would see my work on other people’s browsers, and it didn’t look right, it would drive me C-R-A-Z-Y!
I use a MAC for the most part, but I make it a point when designing for the web to check out my site on a variety of computers and browsers to make sure that my site looks good in all browsers. After all, most people are still on Internet Explorer and on a Windows machine (and don’t get me started on the fact that IE 6 and IE 7 display the website differently!)
There are many factors affect how others view your site. Among them are: your operating system, your monitor brand, the settings on your monitor, your internet browser, etc…
So what can you do about it?
Well, I love the internet. You can find everything you need with a few keystrokes and a mouse click!
Do you want to see what your site looks like in various browsers? Check out:
It’s broken down by web browser:
Linux: Epiphany 2.14, Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.0, Galeon 2.0, Iceweasel 2.0, Konqueror 3.5, Opera 9.24
Windows: Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.0, MSIE 5.0, MSIE 5.5, MSIE 6.0, MSIE 7.0, Opera 9.24, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0
Mac: Firefox 2.0, Safari 1.3, Safari 2.0, Safari 3.0
A second option:
This one you have to pay for if want to use it repeatedly. It’s quite expensive at the moment. But you do get a free trial for 24 hours or 200 screen captures FREE simply by signing up.
The advantage with this one is that you can see by OS version, browser (it includes AOL and Netscape) and if you have Flash or not (and the version).
This may be perfect if you just want to see your new membership site on various browsers!
