Web Building Site Users

« Previous Next Chapter »

Your visitors use different hardware and software.

The important thing is to KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE.


Visitor's Monitor

Not everyone on the internet has the same monitor as you.

If you design a Web site to be displayed on a monitor with a 1024x768 resolution, visitors with lower resolution monitors (like 800x600) might have problems reading your pages.

Make sure you test your Web site on different monitors.

Take a look at our browser display statistics to see the trends in monitor development.


What Browsers Do They Use?

Don't forget to test your Web site on different browsers.

The most popular browsers today are Internet Explorer and Firefox.

One wise thing to do when designing Web pages is to use correct HTML (or XHTML). Strict and correct coding will help a browser to display your pages correctly.

 Take a look at our browser statistics to see the trends in browser development.


What Plug-Ins Do They Have?

Sound, video clips, or other multimedia content might require the use of separate programs (plug-ins).

Be sure that your visitors have access to the software needed to view them.


What About Disabilities?

Some people have viewing or hearing disabilities.

They might try to read your pages with Braille or speech-based browsers. Always add text alternatives for pictures and graphic elements.
