[Hidden-tech] proofing a website

[Mark D. Hamill]

Technically, if your website is standards compliant you can test by simply
reducing the width of the browser window and see what happens. Responsive
content is usually either hidden or pushed below the main content.

Just in case it's not being done make sure your HTML is version 5 and that
you validate your HTML and CSS with w3.org's validators.

Browser manufacturers now go through a lot of trouble to ensure they comply
with standards. There are some exceptions of course, but writing standards
compliant HTML, CSS and Javascript is probably the fastest and cheapest way
to address potential incompatibility issues. Those browsers with quirks are
probably worth ignoring until they fix their browsers.

There are some browser quirks you can decide if you want to address or not.
Retinal displays like retinal images (2x the detail) and images served to
these devices may look fuzzy. Wordpress has a plugin that detects these
devices and can serve retinal images. Also, Apple devices promote their
Apple touch icons and some developers will make sure their markup supports
Apple's peculiar standard.
