Godaddy start from scratch website tonight builder?

Question

Does anyone know anything about it? I created a website for my business the other day and didn't use any of their layouts just started from scratch with a blank page. on my design page I have everything centered and there is no bar at the bottom of the screen to move from side to side. On some other computers like my wife's at work, she says things are not centered and you must scroll to the right to see it all. Same on my Wii its like that too. But now my mother in laws computer it doesn't; its normal and on my computer that I created its fine. Is there some kind of option I am missing to make it fit on all screens?

Answer 1

Yes one thing in web design you need to think about is everyone uses a different screen resolution on their computers. So a good size in width would be no larger the 1027px. A lot of older computers will use a smaller screen resolution than newer ones so in some cases that is unavoidable.



Hope that helps.

Welcome to the world of web design, now you know why we (as designers / developers / programmers ) hate our lives.



Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0 ALL have different Browser Model engines, and will ALL view websites differently. You must learn to effectively write your code for almost all of those.



Chrome and Safari use the same BME.



FireFox is stand alone - almost always the same in all their browsers, 4.0 (their latest beta) changes a few structurals with support for CSS3.



Netscape is a pain in the ***. I don't even support them, as individuals using netscape have other options - such as Chrome, FireFox and Safari, which are more widely supported.



For the 'layout' you can see 'Zen Layout' ( http://groups.drupal.org/node/10724 ).



Zen is picture perfect for structuring objects for almost all browsers.



You can download 'IE Tester' to see how it looks in all IE versions

Beyond that, you'll need to learn how to code specifically for certain browsers, and exclude others.



As far as I know, you're only capable of targeting IE browsers, or excluding them individually.



FireFox specific CSS is -moz-.



Good luck.

Answer 3

The code/layout you are using is not cross-browser compatible.



Use Ultimate Web Builder: http://www.redesigns.org/web-builder - it uses divs/css formatting - you don't need any programming experience, just use the easy Admin Panel.
