What browsers do we test for?

We test all our web development in the following browsers: Internet Explorer 6 and 7 (Windows) Firefox 1.5 (Windows/Mac). Internet Explorer represent 85%* market share. Firefox represent 10-15%* of the market.  Note: Since the release of IE7 we no longer test for Internet Explorer 5.5 unless specifically requested.

Our primary development platform is Firefox as it adheres most closely to web standards set by WC3.

Microsoft has indicated it will have better support for these standards in the next version of Internet Explorer. In the meantime, we always test against Internet Explorer 6 as this represents the majority market share.

We do not, as a matter of course, test against other browsers [Safari (Mac), IE 5 and less (Win), IE (Mac), Opera or any Linux browsers]. Safari’s display engine is close to W3C standards, so code developed for Firefox will in most cases display exactly the same in Safari.

If you require a testing regime for any browsers outside the test environment above, we can provide you with a separate estimate. Or you can test in these browsers yourself and we can provide cross-browser fixes at our standard hourly rate.
