How To Optimize a Web Page for Different Operating Systems

Posted: 11 Mar 2010 06:07 PM PST

Windows and Mac OS are perhaps the two most widely-used operating systems today. But there are still other systems out there that run on uncommon platforms and their web browsers may not necessarily accommodate web pages designed for the more popular systems. If you want to reach the widest possible audience with your website, consider optimizing your web pages for all the different operating systems.

1. Use HTML as much as possible.
HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language is the universally accepted code for displaying textual information. Even Linux text-based web browsers will read and understand HTML code. Since the objective is to achieve the widest possible usability across various operating systems, you might want to forego using web authoring tools that put too much emphasis on multimedia content. Presenting your content in text is still the most common way to convey information.

2. Place alternative descriptive text for images.

How To Optimize a Web Page for WebTV

Posted: 11 Mar 2010 06:06 PM PST

You just created your website and made sure that it looks excellent on commonly used browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome and then you suddenly found out that some of your visitors use WebTV to browse through your page.

The following are some recommendations that you can follow.

1. Modify the width of your webpages' body.

2. Change the font tags to Helvetica.
