Website Testing

Dave Coveney, Wednesday, September 27th, 2006 at 5:05 pm

Testing your website thoroughly is an important part of our design process. If your site doesn’t work on all browsers out there it will reflect badly on your business - if just 5% of visitors to your site can’t access the information you require that could have a significant effect on your revenues and traffic.

Many websites only work properly with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 - a browser now used by less than 50% of internet users. Our sites are designed to be fully standards compliant and work for at least 99.5% of visitors regardless of their platform or browser plug-ins, with a target of 100% compliancy. Our websites should continue to work with new and forthcoming browsers.

We can’t guarantee higher levels of compliancy as there are many thousands of software/browser/operating system and screen configurations and obviously not all can be tested without massive costs to our clients. Instead we rely on our experience and knowledge to ensure our code works for the widest feasible range of visitors.
