Compatibility is another problem often faced by web developers. The compatibility problems arise from:
-
Platform - People use the web on every different computer and different operating system including Windows, Mac, Unix and so forth. This affects both the functionality of certain programs especially Java or Java Script based programs.
-
Browser - Users view the web with many different versions of browsers. This may affect the site’s appearance on the screen.
-
Plug-ins - Not everyone has plug-in technologies, like Flash, installed properly. So not everyone will be able to see it.
-
Monitor - Users use monitors of different sizes and resolutions.
-
Colour capability - The are slight differences in colour on different platforms.
If you want your site to be compatible with different systems, you should start thinking about it before you start the development process. |
