Multiple Web Browsers

As you progress from selling a few items a few times a month on eBay, to where you are starting to list everyday, there will come a time when you will need to open an  eBay Store was not getting the sales she had been getting. I asked her a few basic questions and it turned out her sales had gone down since she had a store designed for her and she had paid out a lot of money, and was very upset.

I was using I.E. at the time (This was rare, as I normally used Firefox), and went to the site it all looked good, I gave her a few tips on titles, and she had to go, but we agreed to look at it together later on that night. During the afternoon I went to her site and was using Firefox, and oh dear, the site was bad, real bad. Her background, was now the foreground and all the images and text were masked by her pretty design. You could not read anything. I quickly opened up Chrome and the same thing happened.

The time came when she came into the chat and asked what did I think was wrong, poor girl was almost in tears, I said her disgn was rubbish…………….. more tears and how much she had spent. Then she said it looks ok to me. I asked her to open up Firefox she said she thought she had it on her computer. After a few seconds I heard a scream and more tears, and why what has happened. I explained that her designer had only checked and programmed it for I.E. I took a few screen shots of it and told her to email the designer and get them to change it, for free as this should have been done at the very begining.

Next day I had an email thanking me so much the eBay Store had been changed and it now looked good, and guess what, the sales were back up. So the point of this story is when ever you design something online check everything in Multiple Web Browsers, and make sure it all looks good.
