Church Website Tip: Check How Your Site Looks In Different Browsers

One important thing to do for your church website — and something I’m learning to do with my own sites — is to see how it looks in different web browsers.

What I mean is … you’ll want to check to see how your site displays in, say, Internet Explorer 5 or IE6 or IE7 … or Firefox (my personal favorite). The reason for this is because not all browsers are made the same (Subliminal message: Choose Firefox, it rocks!).

And the way they pull up a site varies.

This is one of the great complexities of web design … trying to build sites that display properly in the main browsers.

Here’s a great resource site to make that check: Browser Shots. This site takes all the work and hassle out of it … and gives you screenshots of how your site looks in various browsers.

    Cory,
    Couldn’t agree more about Firefox, but also Browsershots. I just changed my template and blog look and afterward I checked it with browsershots, and even though my site looked good in Firefox, there were some hinky things happening within IE, so I made some corrections and now all is well. And Browsershots is free - what a deal.
