Test your website in more than the browser you use
What many people don’t know is that websites render differently in various web browsers due to each one being built on a different rendering engine. As such you can see anything from minor differences in how fonts are displayed through to completely different layouts and appearance. It is therefore vitally important that you or your website designer tests in all the latest browsers to ensure your website is accessible and usable to as wide an audience as possible.

Choosing the right CMS could save you money
Given the current economic climate it is vital that money spent on a business is well thought out and offers a good return (ROI). A recent project indicated how powerful this concept is by the City of Albert Lea saveing over $19,000 (about £13,500 at today’s exchange rate) by using WordPress.
The lesson to learn here is that free, open source content management systems (CMS) are definitely worth considering when building a site. Not only do they not cost you any licence fees (initial or ongoing), they tend to be heavily supported by a community of loyal fans and developers. This means that they become easy to extend and are often quickly updated. Also they tend to offer improved flexibility in terms of look and feel versus more traditional templates or proprietary CMS.
