Choosing a Web Browser (posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010)

Part of the process of creating exemplary real estate website design is to ensure that it looks good across all web browsers.  While the technical aspects going on behind the scenes to create the visual experience may not matter much to the end user, the visual representation they see onscreen does.  This is why the use of web browsers is so important and why there are so many as of late.  Which one should you use?

First of all if you're choosing a web browser (and using one) like Internet Explorer make sure you're using the latest version, which is version eight.  There's still a group of people who are using the now deprecated version six.  Not only does this cause real estate web design to look bad, you're voluntarily making your computer vulnerable to threats as newer versions have better security features and safeguards.

If you'd like to increase the functionality of your web browsing experience, consider Firefox.  Besides web browsing you can download “extensions” which are designed to do a number of things such as downloading YouTube videos to your computer or formatting websites for better readability.  In terms of overall performance, Firefox is leaps and bounds above Internet Explorer.

Those of you who come from the Mac platform may be familiar with Safari, created by Apple itself.  This browser doesn't offer extensions like Firefox but if you ever find yourself in a PC environment for whatever reason, you'll feel right at home with Safari's PC equivalent.  Its performance trumps even that of Firefox.

Finally, Google itself also has its own browser called Chrome.  For the time being Chrome is currently the fastest of all the modern web browsers, capable of rendering realtor websites very quickly.  Recent versions of Chrome now support extensions as well.  If you use Google services like Gmail or Google Maps the browser integrates and works seamlessly with these services.
