(Get Attention Ticker for your web site)
What Do Others See?By Will Bontrager What do others see when they view your site? The appearance of sites vary considerably between monitor size, screen resolution, browser version combinations, and other software/operating system preferences. Graphics that look good on a high-resolution monitor may look awful on a lower resolution monitor. Designate a bgcolor in your <body... tag or a body background-color with CSS. Some people, like myself, prefer an easier-on-the-eyes, non-white, default system background color for their documents (word processors and such). When no background color is specified for a web page, the default system background color is used. It can make a page appear unprofessional. Headlines and text line breaks may be different on different screen sizes. Text on Mac machines appears smaller than on PC. If you're designating font sizes, stay at 10 points or larger. Colors will vary from monitor to monitor, even "web safe" colors. Television is low resolution, at least in the US. If WebTV visitors are important to you, take that into consideration. For example, if you embed text within graphics, the text should be 14 points or larger. If you use style sheets, remember that different browsers will render differently and that some browsers can't use style sheets or their owners have turned style sheets off. To check your site, use the internet at your public library, school, internet cafe, neighbor's house, and friendly business. View your site with as many monitor size/screen resolution/browser type combinations as you can find. December 26, 2005 Please note: Articles on this website are presented "as is".
