class="align-left" style="border: 0px none; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 5px; float: right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/00-webfonts.jpg" border="0" alt="00 webfonts.jpg" width="250" height="141" />It’s been mentioned before but it’s worth repeating: if you don’t want your websites/blogs to be just another face in the crowd, you have to make it stand out from the others, and playing with the design is one way to achieve that.  But every web designer knows too well that typography is one area where their hands are pretty much tied.

The launch of class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/customized-fonts-wordpress-blog-google-blog-directory/">Google Fonts brings fresh air to the world of free web typography. But even though Google provide us with many great free-to-use fonts, the addition is still just a speck of dust among thousands (or maybe millions?) of existing fonts out there.

id="more-57236"> /> Meet class="vt-p" href="http://webfonts.fonts.com/">Fonts.com, a web service that provides us with thousands of alternative fonts that we can use for our web/blog design – and 3,000+ of them are available for free.

Free Fine Fonts For You

Fonts.com is brought to us by Monotype Imaging, a well known name in the font industry. The company name itself is a guarantee that you will find a vast choices of fonts here. But before we can use the Fonts.com service, we should first sign up to get a free account.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/01a-Fonts.com-Main-Page.jpg" border="0" alt="01a Fonts.com Main Page.jpg" width="580" height="350" />

There are three “pricing” schemes available with various features, but I personally think that the free one – with 3,000+ font choices, unlimited websites use and fonts per site, and 25,000 pageviews per month – is more than adequate for everyday bloggers and website owners. The free offer is very generous considering that class="vt-p" href="https://typekit.com/plans">Typekit – another big player in the same field – limits their users with only one website use and two fonts per site.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/01b-Select-subscription.jpg" border="0" alt="01b Select subscription.jpg" width="580" height="350" />

Start by building a project: give it a name and add the domains that you want to use the fonts with. Don’t forget to save the project before you continue. You can create several projects to manage, but due to the pageviews limitation, I suggest you create another account for another project if your website could attract high traffic.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/02a-Create-A-Project.jpg" border="0" alt="02a Create A Project.jpg" width="580" height="258" />

The next step is to choose the fonts for your project. You can sort by classification, designer, foundry or language support. If you know the font name, you can go directly to the search box, or – if you have plenty of spare time – you can browse all the available fonts alphabetically.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/03a-Choose-fonts.jpg" border="0" alt="03a Choose fonts.jpg" width="580" height="229" />

But before you do that, it’s better to take a look at the list of featured fonts.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/03b-Choose-fonts-Featured-Fonts.jpg" border="0" alt="03b Choose fonts - Featured Fonts.jpg" width="580" height="300" />

The language support options will be very useful if you are looking for fonts that support non-Latin characters like Arabic or Chinese.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/03e-Choose-Fonts-Language-Support.jpg" border="0" alt="03e Choose Fonts - Language Support.jpg" width="230" height="270" />

Adding the fonts to a project is as easy as clicking the “Add to project” button at the right side of the font list. If you find a font with a grey “Upgrade” button, it means that the font is only available for paid users.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/03c-Choose-fonts-Free-And-Upgrade.jpg" border="0" alt="03c Choose fonts - Free And Upgrade.jpg" width="420" height="235" />

After adding the fonts that you like to the project, you can start working on your style sheet. Go to the “Selectors” field, type a selector and click “Add selector“. Repeat the process for other selectors. A little knowledge of HTML and CSS would be very useful here, but using the basic “body” and “h1” to “hx” (change the x with any number) will do for beginners.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/04a-Work-on-style-sheet.jpg" border="0" alt="04a Work on style sheet.jpg" width="580" height="160" />

Then choose a font from the drop down list for each selector. The available fonts are the ones that we chose earlier. A preview of the font usage will appear to the right of the list.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/04b-Work-on-style-sheet-choose-font-for-header.jpg" border="0" alt="04b Work on style sheet - choose font for header.jpg" width="580" height="280" />

The last step is to publish your project. Clicking on the “Publish” tab will give you four options. Beginners will want to stick with option 1.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/05a-Publish-Easy.jpg" border="0" alt="05a Publish - Easy.jpg" width="580" height="320" />

While options 3 and 4 are only available for paid users.

You will get one line of code to apply on your website. Click the “Select code” button and hit Command + C (Mac) or Ctrl + C (Windows) to copy the code.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/05b-Publish-Select-Code-1.jpg" border="0" alt="05b Publish - Select Code-1.jpg" width="580" height="160" />

Now let’s move to your website to apply the code.

Applying The Code

The code that you get should be pasted between the “head” tags. I’m assuming that if you have a website, you should know how to do that. However, for class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/self-hosted/">self-hosted class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/wordpress/">WordPress blog owners, there’s an easy way to do it without having to edit any code.

Install and activate a WordPress plugin called “Insert Codes” and paste the font code inside the “Blog header” field, and save the changes.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/06a-Insert-Codes-Wordpress-Blog.jpg" border="0" alt="06a Insert Codes - WordPress Blog.jpg" width="550" height="300" />

I tried this on my self-hosted WordPress blog and everything worked fine. The elements showed up with their new look.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/07a-Result-1.jpg" border="0" alt="07a Result 1.jpg" width="580" height="261" />

The beauty of this system is that if you make any changes to your project inside Fonts.com, the changes will be automatically applied to your website(s) without you having to do anything.

So if you are looking for free and easy ways to play with web typography, the service from Fonts.com would be your best bet. I personally think it’s even better than the Google Font directory – at least from the number of choices that free users have.

class="align-left" style="border: 0px none; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 5px; float: right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/0-vidcapture-intro.jpg" alt="capture streaming video" width="240" height="230" />How much online video content do you consume? Judging by YouTube’s popularity I’d say a lot, but YouTube isn’t the only site out there with streaming video content. More and more sites are featuring videos every day.

Every once in a while you come across a video you would like to save. Whether it be for educational purposes, work-related, or for entertainment, it would be nice to save these files to our hard drives so we can easily access them. Sometimes bookmarking just isn’t a viable solution. Sometimes we need to download.

id="more-54288"> /> There are a lot of different services and tools you can use to capture streaming video. In this article, I will show you some of the best ones, so you’ll be filling your hard drive with streaming content in no time.

A Little About Streaming Video

The vast majority of streaming video content on the Internet is in the Flash Video – or FLV – format. Flash Video allows for highly compressed streaming video, and many websites use it because it saves space, loads quickly, and displays nicely in web browsers.

FLV files are what we will be looking for with the tools I’m about to show you. If you aren’t privy to the FLV format it is fairly simple to class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/free-flv-converter-a-simple-freeware-to-convert-flv-videos-to-avi/">convert files over to other formats, like the more popular AVI, but you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to. The FLV format is supported by many different class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/video-player/">video players, including the popular class="vt-p" href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/">VLC Player, which is recommended.

class="vt-p" href="http://keepvid.com/">KeepVid

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/1-vidcapture-keepvid.png" alt="capture streaming video" width="580" height="442" />

The first website that can be used to catch streaming video is KeepVid. KeepVid ( class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/keepvid/">directory post) has a very simple concept behind it. Just visit the site and enter in the URL of the video page you would like to download. Click Download and KeepVid will search the page for videos.

Then it will display links for you to download the video in 3GP, FLV, or MP4 format.

KeepVid also has a bookmarklet that you can drag up to your bookmarks bar. Just click the Keep It! button whenever you’re on a website with streaming video and you will be taken straight to the KeepVid download page for that video.

class="vt-p" href="http://www.flashvideodownloader.org/">Flash Video Downloader

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/2-vidcapture-fvd.png" alt="record streaming video" width="580" height="202" />

Flash Video Downloader is another website like KeepVid. In the event one method fails, however unlikely that may be, it is always good to have a backup solution.

FVD supports a wide range of websites. It is constantly adapting to the ever-changing tactics that websites undergo in the way of preventing their video content from being easily downloaded. Just enter your URL, click Download, and you are taken to your download link page.

class="vt-p" href="http://file2hd.com/">File2HD

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/3-vidcapture-file2hd.png" alt="record streaming video" width="580" height="398" />

File2HD ( class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/file2hd-download-mp3s-videos-myspace-imeem/">directory post) is more of an all-in-one capture website, but it can be used for the same purposes as the 2 sites previously mentioned. To use it to catch streaming video, just select Movies as your filter, type in your URL, and click Get Files.

What’s great about File2HD is that it brings up multiple options for your videos. For instance, when I pasted in the URL of a YouTube video, it gave me the option to download the file in low quality, high, or standard, as well as convert it. Very simple.

class="vt-p" href="http://www.orbitdownloader.com/download.htm">Orbit Downloader

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/4-vidcapture-grab.jpg" alt="record streaming video" width="541" height="389" />

If you prefer a cross-browser desktop application, Orbit Downloader is one of the best out there. You can use this app to capture streaming video and download almost anything on the Internet, as detailed class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/place-yourself-and-your-downloads-into-orbit/">here.

To capture streaming video, run Orbit and enable its Grab++ feature. Once it’s running, refresh/reload the page you are on or open up a new browser window to start using it. Orbit will begin catching files from every page you visit, which you can then download from the application.

You can also click the yellow pin icon on Grab++ to keep it on top of other windows while you’re surfing the web, which is a nice feature.

class="vt-p" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006/">Download Helper [Firefox]

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/5-vidcapture-firefox.png" alt="capture streaming video" width="491" height="343" />

If you’re using Firefox, Download Helper is a simple extension for you to use. Once installed, it’s just a little icon that sits next to your home button in Firefox. When you’re on a website with streaming content, the little icon will light up. Click on it to download – and convert – your file.

A more detailed article on how to utilize Download Helper can be found class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/download-any-video-on-the-web-with-downloadhelper/">here.

Conclusion

Like I stated before, it isn’t that difficult to find a way to save your streaming video content. If one method doesn’t work you can search for another and find a good application relatively easily. Be sure to exhaust all of your resources before giving up when attempting to download streaming content.

As you browse the Web, you will find sites that implement just about every type of navigation scheme you can think of and then even some more! However, certain common factors do emerge. The use of menu bars, either horizontally or vertically oriented, are the most common way of allowing users to move through your site.

Sites with a great deal of content often implement dynamic menu bars that change to present the most relevant options on each page. Sites often use some kind of “feedback” or special effect to let users know where certain navigation elements are located, such as graphics that change colors when the users point their mouse at them.

You can use a variety of technologies and design elements to implement Web site navigation. As you consider different navigation techniques, keep the following seven basic comparison factors in mind:

Visual

Does the technique look and like a navigation element that users are accustomed to seeing? In other words, is it a button or a menu that users will recognize as a navigation element?

Feedback

Does the technique offer some form of feedback to indicate that a user has pointed at or clicked a particular navigation element? This type of feedback can be important because users often explore a site by moving their mouse around to see what happens. Navigation techniques that allow individual elements to respond to this activity make the overall navigation more likely to succeed.

Accessibility

How does the technique work when a visually impaired person attempts to use the site with a specially equipped Web browser? If this demographic is important to your company, pay special attention to this capability.

Overhead

Some techniques require the Web browser to server to transfer more data to the Web browser than is required by other techniques. If your customers will be accessing the site over slower connections, then using techniques with a high overhead will result in slow page loads, and possibly bored customers who will give up and move on to the competition.

Scalability

Does the technique offer any particular advantages to make growing the site easier? Some navigation designs may require you to redesign the entire site every time a new feature is added. Others may simply require a few minor modifications to add several new departments to a menu.

Space

Some techniques, combined with your site’s browsing philosophy, require considerable space on the screen. Other techniques allow you to present a wider array of navigation choices while using less screen space. Keep in mind that your navigation elements should never occupy the majority of the screen. It is the content that your customers came for, not the menu bars.

Compatibility

How well wills this technique work within the available range of Web browsers? If one of your objectives is to have your site usable by as many customers as possible, pay attention to the techniques that offer a broad range of compatibility, and steer away those that are limited to a smaller set of browsers.

Navigation Technologies

To implement Web site navigation, you can use one of four primary technologies. The oldest and simplest of these technologies is the basic, static HTML page. A step up from that is the static HTML page, which is dynamically generated on the Web server. Web pages can be given more interactive capabilities with Dynamic HTML (DHTML), whether programmed in VBScript or JavaScript. Java presents the opportunity to program a complete, standalone application to use as a navigation aid.

Static HTML

Static HTML links are the oldest and simplest form of navigation on the Web. They can be less exciting than their dynamic counterparts, but remain one of the most effective navigational techniques on the Web.

Dynamically Generated Static HTML

If your site is constantly growing and changing, static HTML will require a constant effort to keep the navigational elements in line with the site’s growth. A common solution to this problem has been to dynamically generate the navigation elements when the page displays. When using the DHTML, you don’t have to manually update elements as the site grows, because an automated process generates the navigation elements as necessary, based on the information in a database.

VBScript and JavaScript Dynamic HTML

DHTML is a technology that allows you to embed programming code in the Web pages that are sent to user’s computers. DHTML code actually executes within the users Web browser, and can change the appearance and content of the Web page in response to the user’s actions on the page.

In Finality

You can use a variety of technologies and design elements to implement Web site navigation. As you consider different navigation techniques, keep the above seven basic comparison factors in mind. Visitors are becoming rare and rare in this competitive globe of e-commerce. Retain those who visit to your site for longer period in order to convert them as customers. Site navigation techniques help you to do so.

The problem with forgetting about the mobile community is that mobile is the trend of the Internet. More people are checking Facebook, reading and responding to emails, and yes – reading their favorite websites right from their mobile phones.

In 2008, class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/browsing-web-on-your-mobile-phone/">Aibek observed how quickly the mobile Internet was taking off. If you are looking to capture potential visitors wherever they are, then offering mobile content is the way to do that.

The problem is that not everyone has time to put together a mobile version of their website or blog.

id="more-51986"> /> In 2010, MakeUseOf began work on offering readers an class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/introducing-makeuseofs-redesigned-mobile-website/">updated mobile alternative. If you’re looking to offer mobile content, but you aren’t really comfortable or knowledgeable with the web coding required, an excellent option is to make use of class="vt-p" href="http://winksite.com">WINKSite, a free service that instantly converts your RSS feed into a high quality mobile site.

Setting Up Your Mobile Site

Getting your mobile website set up is ridiculously easy, and requires zero programming knowledge. All you have to do is sign up for a free WINKSite account, and then from the dashboard click on “Create a Site.” The next screen is where you’ll set up an individual mobile site.

If you want to have your existing RSS feed used as the source for your mobile site content, make sure to click on “Blog” and fill in the link to the URL or your RSS feed URL.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52005" style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/wink2.jpg" alt="create a mobile website" width="553" height="480" />

style="text-align: left;">The beauty of this service is that you can personalize the mobile site to look however you like. Adjust the color scheme and upload your own header photo. In my case I’ve uploaded the FWC logo and centered it at the top of the mobile site.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52006" style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/wink3.jpg" alt="create a mobile website" width="566" height="535" />

style="text-align: left;">As you adjust the color and header settings, you can see a small preview of what the mobile site will look like in the right hand column. Once you’re done, you’ll end up on the dashboard page.  Another awesome thing about WINKSite is the fact that there are so many available content types that you can create for absolutely free and add to your mobile site. These are things like a forum, a chat room, surveys and much more.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52007" style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/wink4.jpg" alt="make a mobile website" width="558" height="452" />

Adding Content To Your Mobile Site

style="text-align: left;">While you could just allow your RSS feed to update your new mobile website automatically, you have the option to add new, unique content for your mobile readers only. For example, create a survey that will be featured in the “survey channel” in the link listings. Setting  up a new survey requires that you fill out one simple form, and you’re done.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52008" style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/wink5.jpg" alt="make a mobile website" width="433" height="469" />

style="text-align: left;">You can even create an Ezine to go along with your blog! All setup and content creating takes place on the WINKSite website, and again the entire process makes use of a very simple wizard. You can create the entire e-zine by packaging up several articles within one e-zine issue.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52009" style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/wink6.jpg" alt="make a mobile website" width="423" height="446" />

style="text-align: left;">Fill out the forms to create each article within your e-zine, and you’re good to go. You can schedule the publication date at a later time, and you can make it so articles expire and are only visible publicly for a limited time.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52010" style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/wink7.jpg" alt="" width="428" height="478" />

style="text-align: left;">As though all of these add-ons weren’t enough, you can also add a Forum channel to your mobile site, where visitors can post comments and have conversations that pertain to the content on your mobile website. This is a great way to build community around the topics that you publish on your site.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52011" style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/wink8.jpg" alt="" width="437" height="438" />

style="text-align: left;">You can even issue “field reports” to your mobile blog by sending a text message or an email that gets posted to the site, depending how you configure it to work in your mobile blog Field Reports settings.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52012" style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/wink9.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="424" />

style="text-align: left;">Once you’re finished setting everything up, check out your new mobile site by accessing the URL that was provided to you when you created the site. Here is what the main page of my FreeWritingCenter mobile site looks like on my Motorola Droid.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52013" style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/device1.jpg" alt="" width="281" height="500" />

style="text-align: left;">Click on any of the story titles, and you get a view of the RSS feed content. The display will look differently here, depending on whether you post an excerpt or the entire article to the RSS feed. In my case, I post an excerpt, so the visitor will have to click the link to view the entire HTML website. To be more compatible for all mobile phones, it would probably be better to post the entire article to the feed so they can view it from within your mobile site.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52014" style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/device2.jpg" alt="" width="281" height="500" />

style="text-align: left;">Overall, WINKSite is a useful resource for generating a version of your website that will display properly on mobile devices. It works well, and configuration is so easy that anyone can do it. It would be nice to have a little bit more control over the formatting and to have the ability to insert HTML into some of the forms, but for the most part it performs a valuable service for website owners, and it does it well.

style="text-align: left;">Do you have a mobile version of your website? If not, give WINKSite a shot and let us know what you think!

The goal of most web designers is to create an attractive, easily accessible and functional website that will convince the visitor to do something. Creating such a website requires good graphic design, easy and intuitive site navigation, logical site layout and good web copy. The following suggestions are general web design guidelines.

Web Content

You want the visitor to see you as a knowledgeable information source and/or a reputable business. Poor grammar and spelling will immediately reduce your credibility. Remember that people use the internet to find information. For more details visit to www.javascript-magic.com .Whether you are selling your own product or recommending someone else’s products, you must first provide valuable information to the visitor or they will click away and find a website that gives them what they what they want.

Cross Browser Compatibility

There are at least a hundred different browsers in use. You must design your website to work properly in the most widely used browsers. To do that you may not be able to use all of the really great special effects that are available because they may not be supported in most browsers.

Even though most web browsers are free, people do not necessary bother to upgrade to the latest versions. The average surfer may not know how to upgrade their browser or have the attitude, “If it works, don’t fix it.” Remember your visitor may have a PC, a MAC, a Linux box, a PDA or a cell phone and they all use different browsers.

Good web design requires your web pages to work in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firefox, Opera and Safari at a minimum. Validating your HTML code will help but the final test is to view your website in different browsers running on different platforms.

Graphics and Photos

Web surfers are impatient and studies show that most people will click away if a webpage takes longer than 10 seconds to load. Always optimize your photos and other graphic files to have as small a size as possible without sacrificing picture quality.

Always use the height and width attributes on the picture so the rest of the page can load while the graphic files is downloading. Use the ALT HTML tag so people with graphics turned off and those using hand held devices know what the picture is supposed to be.

Background Colors

If you use anything other than white behind text, be sure to specify link colors otherwise the user’s browser defaults will determine what color the links are which can make them unreadable.

Multimedia

Multimedia is composed of flash movies, video clips, audio clips and background music. Always use streaming media because it reduces download time. Make sure the visitor can stop and start multimedia files or in the case of flash introductions, skip them if they want. That way people with slow connections or devices that don’t support multimedia can ignore them. To know more logon to www.google-friendly-page.com .Also, put any important information presented in multimedia in text as well so the visitor has access to that information without using multimedia. If a plug-in is needed to use the multimedia, always provide a link to it so the user can install it. Finally, always remember the 10-second rule for site loading when deciding to use multimedia.

Site Navigation

Site navigation should be simple and intuitive. Studies have shown if a visitor cannot access the information they want within three clicks, they will leave the site. This is called the 3-click rule. Every area of your website should be reachable within three clicks from anywhere else on the site. If you use anything other than simple text links, make sure to test your navigation in all the major browsers.

Links

Periodically test all site links to be certain that they are valid. Nothing chases a visitor off faster than broken links. There are several free online services that will periodically check your links.

Frames

Avoid using frames, since they make it difficult to bookmark individual pages on your web site and you want people to bookmark pages so they can come back.

Summary

Good Web design is a combination of common sense and good planning. Your site should be attractive and easy to use and most importantly provide the user with the information or services they want.

Web design has always been tough job. New web browsers have always made this of complicated. As new web browsers are coming there has begun a need for changing the design of the website or adjustments or redesigning them again.Different web browsers display differently web sites. A website that is compatible in IE (internet explorer) may not be compatible in display in Mozilla Fire Fox. Redesigning a web site again and again is costly, requires time and it might damage your business, by driving your visitors away. Therefore a non standard website may undergo a lot of change before it is properly displayed.

To avoid these hurdles, an all browser compatible web site should be developed. Use web development platforms that will help you save a lot of time and bring excitement to work.

A website should be designed in accordance to the W3 standards. These standards have been set to improve the functionality, design and look of websites, thus saving time and making them all browser compatible.

We have many web browsers now days as Mosaic, Cello, Lynx (2.0), Arena, Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera 3.0, fireFo.Now a day’s Mozilla fire fox the most popular web browser that is being used. But the problems with Mozilla are that is does not support java script and flash, the loading time is more.

Therefore always design a website that is browser compatible so that your users don’t have to adjust. It’s you who should have a browser compatible website and not visitors should change their browsers to be able to see your website.

palcomonline.com

All web browsers are not developed equally. View your site through different browsers and screen resolutions; you will see how your visitors will view your web site.

A good way to see how your web site will look through various browsers is to download and install a copy of various browsers like Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla Firefox etc.

CSS provides powerful ways to control the appearance of a page— but also leads to serious browser incompatibilities. You can limit these problems by using the HTML 4.01 Strict document type. When you design in “strict mode,” Internet Explorer 6 and above will show behavior much closer to that of Firefox, Safari and other modern browsers. But only if you specify the strict DOCTYPE at the very top of your page.

Otherwise, Internet Explorer runs in a “quirks mode” where it attempts to emulate the behavior of older browsers. Strict mode greatly improves cross-browser consistency of page layout even with Internet Explorer 6, and with Internet Explorer 7, compatibility is further improved although Microsoft unfortunately failed to implement the entire standard.

Strict mode does introduce some changes that may come as a surprise to those who have designed only for Internet Explorer in the past, without testing their pages in browsers like Firefox that aim to be standards-compliant even without a DOCTYPE. You can learn more about the differences by reading about quirks mode and strict mode on the excellent website www.quirksmode.org.

AnyBrowser – Provides a variety of free services for your web site, including browser compatibility testing, link check, HTML check, meta tag creator and more.

Make sure you view your first web page in different browsers and screen resolutions. Once you get it looking great for everyone, you can use it as a template for the rest of your web site. This technique can save your a lot time.

You don’t create websites for a segment of users residing in a particular geographical area using a certain internet connection. Then why do you develop a website for one particular browser.

The World Wide Web is a vast expanse and there is world beyond IE (or whatever your favorite browser is) Limiting your website to perform well in a couple of web browser is like refusing to cater to audiences using other browsers. Though you may have a chunk of your web traffic using a particular browser, you never can be sure from where a potential customer can pop in from. And failure to serve is translates into lost sale.

It is very essential to make your website compatible in all the web browsers. And you can do this by just a little measurement and testing. The prime objective should be to provide a rich and consistent user experience to your audiences irrespective of their medium of access.

Cross browser compatibility testing can be divided into 4 main parts:

Visual Appearance
Your website should look the same or at least correct across different web browsers. Just view your website in several browsers and see how it looks.
• Graphic elements should be displayed correctly
• Text rendering should be consistent
• Web applications should show up at the exact right places
• All the function buttons should be present

Measuring visual appearance across different browsers is an easy process and involves no complications. However, considering the number of browsers that need to be tested and number of considerations to look out for, it can get a bit tedious.

Functionality
Apart from correct display, the website should also function correctly across different browsers and operating systems.
• Business functions should work correctly across different combinations of browsers and operating systems
• All function buttons should lead to correct functions

Performance

The overall performance of a website is also a critical aspect. There are three prime verticals to it:

• Availability – The whole web page or full end-to-end transaction that the user requests should be executed successfully without any error
• Response Time – The time taken and the speed at which the end-to-end transaction was executed should be optimal along with any image or content downloads
• Consistency – The website should promise a rich user experience on all customer visits irrespective of geographical constraints.

Parallel connections can impact the consistent performance of websites. Discrepancies in performance during fast times and slow times can waver the interest of audiences. Therefore utmost care needs to be taken during the development phase.

Perceived Performance
There exists a difference between performance of a website and its perceived performance. It is how users actually experience the website. For example, response time measure the time taken by the website to load but perceived performance measures the time taken by the web page to appear like its done i.e. for all the elements above the fold to get displayed or the time taken by the application to be fully available to the users.

Once you get your website to perform in all these parameters, you can claim to have a cross browser compatible website!
