One site page.
Managing one set of pages for info is work enough, but on a volunteer basis
is hard enough. Supporting multiple browsers on a volunteer project is a
formula for burn out and burn out is bad. 'Sides, if it's a straight
forward site, day to day maintenence can be distributed amoung sections .
The problem is going for the Least Common Denominater(LCD).
I hadn't though of trying for the page design, but I just might now, time
permitting :(.
For instance, LCD
Screen size width choices
640 800 1024 pixels wide?
Check out www.sierrafoothill.org
(site I support on a volunteer basis, still have stuff to add)
It's set for a 640 wide screen -actually 610 so the up/down scroll bar will
fit on the screen
up/down scroll bar good
left/right scrollbar BAD!
'course the audience for Sierra Foothill is not techie. With techies we
could probably go for 800 to 1024 width. I vote for the 800 wide as I like
to see what's in the background as I work on my reasearch. Tables that
arn't hard set cause difficulties with Netscape 4 versions and can do really
funky things.
Browsers -
I'd set Netscape 4.07 and ie 5.0 as the least common denominators, I for
one don't bother to test anything lower than that. I have enough crap on my
system as it is and I'm not about to reload more if I don't have to. :)
