Another thing you need to remember when designing a site is what =
platform it will be viewed with...
this was taken from one of our sites that gets almost a million =
hits a month... that gives us a pretty good view of what people are =
using... this is for a entertainment site, the mac scores only a =
little higher for a educational site...
=20
1 Windows 95 63.79% =20
2 Others 12.75% =20
3 Windows NT 11.87% =20
4 Windows 98 3.24% =20
5 Windows 3.x 2.72% =20
6 Windows Win32s 1.56% =20
7 Macintosh 1.41% =20
8 Macintosh PowerPC 1.24% =20
9 OS/2 0.6% =
10 SunOS 0.24% =20

The catagory of others is webtv, opera, and some of the other =
browsers that dont send the os in the req. statment.

Hi,
I occasionally work with an other person on web pages,
She does the HTML, and I do the graphics. We are having =
trouble
in that what I see on my screen is not what she sees.=20
She mainly works with a lap top computer. Recently, she =
viewed
the work I had sent her on another PC (an aptiva) , and =
realized
that it look considerably better than on her laptop. =20
Here is my problem. My co-hort thinks we should design for =
the
majority of viewers (and I agree), but that most folks would =
have
similar viewing as her machine, and that my machine is =
fancier
than the average user (and I disagree, I think my PC is just =
a normal PC).=20
How do most html designers design for various users? The =
more
I re-do to look good on the lap top, the less wonderful the =
graphics look
to me <g> . All the subtle aspects have to be taken out.=20
I want my work to look good to everyone, but is that =
possible?
I have been working 800 x 600 with 16 bit color,on a Pentium =
PC,=20
as that is comfortable viewing for me.=20
if you want to look, the below URLs will take you to the =
work in progress.
Comments welcome, as long as they are not too cruel <g>
