Continuing on with the website theme update I have now started to apply the same styles used for the blog posts to the pages, I am changing one page at a time, also validating them against the html5 standard, which I am pleased to say most do without making many changes, the enquiry forms I know will not pass html5 validation, not sure what I will do with them yet.
I have also upgraded the spry tabbed panels that were on the easi-joist definitions, trussed rafter definitions, downloads, and McCarthy and Stone pages to the latest version and have changed the styles so they are a better fit with the sites new theme. As you can see from this picture, the tabs are now spaced slightly, this meant that I had to merge some tabs on the trussed rafter definitions page to ensure all the tabs remained on the one row. On the whole this has lead to code for those pages being much less cluttered, which will make them easier to update in the future. One thing to note about the updated theme for the spry tabbed panels and tables is that the gradient backgrounds for these elements will only appear in the latest versions of firefox, safari and chrome, meaning that in the older versions of those browsers and in opera and internet explorer a plain background will appear instead.
Recently I have made a number of changes to the web site’s theme so to ensure that visitors get the best experience when visiting the site I carried out browser compatibility testing. The first stage was to check what browsers people are using to visit the site, so these are the figures for the last month.
- Internet Explorer – 51.92%
- V8 – 68.66%
- V7 – 22.11%
- V6 – 9.23%
- Firefox – 26.27%
- V4 – 1.03%
- V3.6 – 82.78%
- V3.5 – 8.23%
- V3.0 – 2.06%
- other – 5.9%
- Safari – 11.61%
- Chrome – 8.24%
- Opera – 0.88%
So as you can see most people are using the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox, here are the results of the actual browser testing.
- IE6 – Problems with transparencies and header
- IE 7, 8 – OK
- Firefox 2, 3, 4 – OK
- Safari 3, 4, 5 – OK
- Chrome 3, 4, 5 – OK
- Opera 9.8, 10.6 – OK
- SeaMonkey 1.1.12, 2.0 – OK
- Kazehakase 0.52 – OK
- Minefield 3.7 – OK
- Shiretoko 3.5.9 – OK
- K-melon 1.5 – OK
- Netscape 8.1.3 – OK
- Avant 11.7 – OK
- Keape 1.1.13 – OK
- Navigator 9.0.06 – OK
- Flock 2.6.1 – OK
As you can see the website works in a variety of browsers even some I had never heard of before, my advice though is to make sure you are running the latest version of the browser that is compatible with your computer to ensure the best and most secure browsing experience.
Browser testing was carried out at browsershots.org, and with the latest versions of IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari installed on my pc.
Continuing on with the website theme update, I have recently updated the page header, footers and have made a few changes to the sidebars, such as including links to twitter, facebook, flickr, and our rss feed, the next stage of the update is mainly focused on the blog.
As you can see from this image thumbnail this latest update will bring the styles used for the look of the blog posts more in-line with those used in the new header. Sticky posts will also get a face-lift, currently the only thing that differentiates a sticky post from a normal post is the background colour, with the new styles sticky posts will display a padlock on the right-hand side of the post title.
I hope to activate this new theme over the next few days, assuming it doesn’t negatively affect any other elements on the site, such as page headings etc.
UPDATE: The new posts theme has now been activated, the only negative affect it has had on the rest of the site is that it has added a small margin around the content on some of the ‘normal’ pages throughout the site, this isn’t going to be a big problem, especially since I still have to tackle the new theme for the pages anyway.
You can now find us on Facebook where we will be posting delivery schedule updates and other news.
