One of the things we’re really keen on when it comes to web design is making sure that our sites are compatible with as many web browsers as possible. We regularly test on Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 6 on Windows, and Safari and Firefox on the Mac, and have the capacity to test on more if necessary. However, testing a design on lots of browsers can be very time consuming. I’m therefore having a look at a browser-testing site that I’ve come across: Browsershots.

First impressions are good - the site design is very simple, taking you straight into what it’s there for:

You enter the address of the site you want to test and select which browsers, and in theory it gives you a series of screenshots showing you what your site looks like.

I’ve requested some screenshots and will see what happens. It’s a free service, so I’m certainly not expecting instant results. Watch this space…
