When you’re creating a website, it’s important that it looks consistent no matter what browser your visitors are using. Unfortunately, that’s not always easy to achieve.
Different browsers display websites differently, and that can lead to some frustrating inconsistencies. Here’s a closer look at why that is and what you can do about it.
Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.
One of the most common reasons why your Wix website may look different in different browsers is because of the way those browsers render HTML code. Every browser has its own way of interpreting and displaying HTML code, which means that there will always be some differences in how your website looks in different browsers. That’s just something you have to accept when you’re creating a website.
Fortunately, there are some things you can do to help mitigate the problem. First, make sure that you’re using valid HTML code. There are a lot of different ways to write HTML code, but not all of them are supported by all browsers.
If you use valid HTML code, you can be sure that all browsers will interpret your code in the same way. Second, try to use as few HTML elements as possible. The more elements you use, the more likely it is that there will be differences in how those elements are rendered by different browsers.
Of course, even if you do everything right, there will still be some differences in how your website looks in different browsers. That’s just the nature of the web. But if you keep these things in mind, you can help minimize those differences and make sure that your website looks its best no matter what browser your visitors are using.
