Need technical advice please 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
Could someone please give me some advice. I have just opened up my web page (sales copy) in a different web browser (flock) and was shocked to see how different it looked. The text boxes are visible and the size of some of the text is different...it looks very shoddy. When I open it up in internet explorer everything is as it should be. I'm worried about what my traffic is seeing and why the variation between the two. What have I done wrong?

It really comes down to what you used to create your pages with. I use Dreamweaver with mine, as well as Xsite Pro. A good rule of thumb is to preview new pages or sites in both IE and Firefox (Flock will look the same as Firefox).

Most of the headaches I ever had was when I was using Frontpage. Whatever it is you're using you might need to redo some of it with different software. There's a few free ones out there to try out. NVU is pretty popular http://www.nvu.com and I know that a couple of people in here use other free ones too.

I have to say though, from a KISS principle side of things, a marketers best friend is Xsite Pro. It does a great job on small sites selling info products, just isn't that cheap.

Cheers,
Nez

Thanks guys for the quick reply. I use a cheap little program called sothink. I thought it was fine but maybe it's not as good as I thought.I'll try your suggestions and see how I go.
Thanks again.

Thought that I'd add a resource I came across for testing your webpage in different browsers. It's free. http://browsershots.org/
