Website Analytics Part Two: Browser vs Resolution Size
This Excel PivotTable represents slightly differing data than the previous comparison. This is a comparison of the varying Internet Browsers and their respective resolution size. The first thing that may be noticed is there are a lot of resolutions that are not listed, such as 1024x600, 1152x648, 1280x720, 1280x800, and 1600x900 being some of the unlisted resolution sizes. This may be due to incompatibility issues with the analytics program that gathered the data, or a multitude of other reasons that caused complications. The unknowns have been removed from the set displayed. The resolution size used by the visitors to a website is incredibly helpful when the web designer is attempting to determine how he should manage his site with regards who to cater to. From a quick glance at the chart, it is obvious that the web site should be compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, as these are the predominant browsers used. In addition, with regards to various sizing issues that may be encountered, the site should be tailored specifically towards the resolution sizes of 1280x1024 and 1024x768 as these are the most common. When confirming that your site is user-friendly and easy to navigate, these various browsers and resolution sizes should be the web designer's first priority when manipulating advertising space, adding gadgets, or adjusting banners, headers, footers, and sidebars. This will help the web designer cater to the majority of his consumers.
