Cross-browser compatibility

I work very hard to make sure that all the websites and templates I develop are not only w3c XHTML and CSS compliant and accessible but also cross-browser compatible. All my work is hand coded and because of this and my knowlege and experience I understand the reasons why different browsers render web pages differently. This means that as I am hand coding I automatically code for both browsers from the start so there is normally minimal tweaking that needs to be done.

Although my preferred platform for working is a Mac, as a Windows user for many years, I completely understand the importance of ensuring my websites and templates are cross-browser and cross-platform compatible and look the same in different browsers on both Windows PCs and Macs. I have a Mac and several Windows PCs so I am able to fully test all my work during development. I often work with a Mac plus 2 laptops on my desk so I can continually check for any cross-browser or cross-platform issues.

As standard all my sites are tested on (and coded for) the latest versions of
  • Windows PC - Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome
  • Macintosh - FireFox, Safari and Camino
  • Text only browser - Lynx. By testing the site using Lynx I am able to test the website for accessibility issues that users with text only screen readers my encounter.
If you have any specific requirements e.g. older versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox or Netscape Navigator then I am happy to also test with those too.
