Ever wonder why websites don’t look the same on different browsers?
It has been proposed that a client’s expectations are somewhat unrealistic when it comes to their websites looking the same across all browsers and systems. This is not only something that the client is more than likely not going to be too happy to hear, but as it turns out, this is also a topic that some of us in the design and development communities are uncomfortable broaching with our clients.
Often times, development teams spend countless hours working to satisfy the clients request for this commonality. Attempting to explain to clients and have them understand the numerous reason why is most times not warranted. So, this article, from Noupe, does a nice job of addressing this issue. It focuses on two major questions:
- Why a site can not look the same across different browsers.
- Why a site should not look the same across multiple browsers.
Browser technology is a moving target in an ever-changing landscape. Hopefully, with the right education, our clients will begin to understand all of the challenges.
