Browser Compatibility – An Area Of Great Concern For Website Redesign Endeavors


browser-compatibility
The growth of web designing as a dominant element of internet platform is beyond any doubt. It started quite humbly, but has grown itself to a large and complex creature that has different dimensions and angels to be looked after. Unlike past, when websites just needed a static webpage loaded with some company information; today’s website need to be highly dynamic and information rich.

Getting a reliable online presence is not only a problem for new businesses, but old businesses also seem to get affected with that because web design domain changes quite frequently and intensely. That means trends that are very much “in” today, might not be even needed after a little time. Therefore, businesses might need periodic website redesign endeavors to keep abreast with technological advancements.

As mentioned earlier, there are different elements to be taken care of in web designing; browser compatibility is a serious issue that needs due consideration while redesigning a website. Quite often, designers do not heed to the simple fact that web browsers are also undergoing evolution and updating quite frequently to remove their bugs and serve web audiences in a better manner.

Talking of browser compatibility; out of three most popular choices of web browsers, IE is the one posing most problems for designers and developers. Firefox presents designers and developers with a bit of relief, but it is the brilliance of Google Chrome that makes majority of them take a sigh of relief, as it is a browser that keeps updating itself with every newer version without bothering people much.

To conclude, unless web designers resort to newer versions of HTML and CSS for addressing the issues of browser compatibility, their success will always remain insignificant.
