Cross-Browser Compatibility

Even when using the most sound CSS design principles, sometimes a website can end up looking different across a range of platforms/browsers. That’s where cross-browser compatibility checking comes in. In the early days I had to have physical access to a range of machines (or phone people and ask them to check!) in order to make sure everything looked ok.

Nowadays the hard work is done for us, especially by sites like BrowserShots, an online testing utility that lets you check how your delicious new design looks across a range of hardware and software. I was amazed at the range of platforms, and although I knew of the Flock and SeaMonkey browsers, had never heard of K-Meleon. Consider me enlightened.

Being

I'm a Bournemouth-based Freelance Graphic and Web Designer with six years industry and more than eleven years personal experience in all aspects of digital design and new media.

 

I have a broad range of experience covering web design (custom cms theme design for Joomla, Wordpress & Drupal), design for print (letterheads, business cards, logos etc) and new media (banner ads, flash animation, interactive info portals). I believe that a design is only as good as it is usable, and prioritise the latest accessibility standards in all my online work.
