How to Avoid Bloopers: Test Your Site
How many times have you clicked a link that doesn't go anywhere? Or
noticed a strange computer-jargon message on a web page? Or discovered
that the site that worked well when you used Internet Explorer didn't
after you switched to Mozilla Firefox?
These are the kind of bloopers that thorough testing is designed to
prevent. The kind of bloopers that convince your visitors that you
are not so professional after all. The kind that drive them out of
your site, onto the site of your competitor.
At Usable Web Designs, we test your site thoroughly.
We test it on a variety of browsers:
- Internet Explorer
- Mozilla Firefox
- Netscape Navigator
- Opera
We also test it on several screen resolutions:
We test:
- that all the links go where they should
- that the site looks good whether the browser window is large or small
- that the visitor can resize the text to suit themselves using
available browser options
- that the page communicates meaningful information even if the visitor
has images turned off in their browser (a feature of Opera) or is
blind and using a text reading program
