Multi-Media Display

Website design is no longer a “What You See Is What You Get” situation. What YOU see can differ considerably from what someone else sees. It’s very easy to be visually/mentally seduced into believing that your design is consistent across the web.

However, with your pages being opened on anything from wide screen monitors, to small smart phones , it’s hard to predict how it will come access. And that does not even address the varying browser support for improved coding standards. Nowadays a website needs to take these variables into consideration.

We can no longer ignore this and can’t say “no, I don’t care how people to see my site on cell phones”. Monitoring site statistics might show that a larger than expected amount of viewers are using small screens.

There are various ways to deal with this – custom CSS styling to be activated according to media, or fully “flexible” CSS structured pages, etc.
