Important Factors To Consider Prior To Your Website Going Live

Once you have a completed website and want to publish it on the Internet

, there are various factors that your web designer should make you aware of in order for you to know precisely how your site will work across the entire Internet.

When your website had been coded and then uploaded to the web, it may not look precisely the same in all browsers and versions, such as Opera, Safari, Explorer and Firefox. This cannot always be corrected, as different browsers can sometimes deliver images and html code in varying ways. Most website designers will develop websites for the most advantageous viewing with Internet Explorer and Firefox, as it is these two browsers that have the most major share of the browser market (82% according to Netmarketshare). Nonetheless, Google Chrome is catching up currently with almost 8% of the market according to Netmarketshare.

As well as there being numerous browsers that are available for use on the Internet, there are also numerous plugins and settings for the various browsers that cannot always be accommodated, so web developers have to build websites to default settings of the varying browsers.

With this in mind, it can be understood that a website may well appear differently on a PC than it will on an Apple MAC, so it may well not be feasible to amend images and layouts to match flawlessly.

A website seen on mobile phones, iPods, iPhones or iPads may well not look identical as on a PC or AppleMAC because of the considerably smaller screen size. If you have a website that makes use of Adobe Flash for its animation, this may not appear on an iPod, iPhone or iPad, as at the time of writing it is believed there is not a plugin available for these platforms. This may also be true if you view your site via a gaming platform such as Xbox or Playstation.

If you zoom in on a website using the zoom function of that browser, this may well cause some form of distortion in the page and your web developer may not be able to keep the layout consistent other than by viewing at 100%, which is what the site was built for.

The resolution of a website is another important factor, as they should be built for an optimal screen resolution of 1024 x 768 (according to Netmarketshare) or higher. People looking at a website on a computer screen that has resolutions below this will probably have to scroll sideways.

With there being so many platforms available for people to surf the Internet, it is important to realise that your website may well look different on each browser that it is viewed on. Therefore, your website designer should optimise your website to cater for the most popular browsers that your site will be viewed with.
