Perception is in the eye of the browser

I took a look at my Crown Point and Northwest Indiana bankruptcy lawyer website last night using my wife’s computer and realized that I was seeing the site differently on my computer.

My wife’s computer is a netbook running Windows XP. She uses Windows Explorer. I’m running Windows Vista on my laptop and usually use Chrome. What looked good on my computer looked pretty horrible on my wife’s system.

I went back and tweaked my page making sure to look at it using Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Opera. I might download Safari make sure it looks fine for people using Apple’s browser.

It’s a lesson to learn. I’ve been spoiled using WordPress through the years. I always assume plugging content into a CMS will look fine. However, assuming doesn’t make it reality, so it’s always a good idea to double check what a site might look like using various web browsers.

If I get really ambitious, I might attempt to make a mobile Northwest Indiana bankruptcy law website that will look nice for cell phone viewers.
