Why does the same web site look different on different computers?One of the great frustrations of designing web sites is that it is impossible to know exactly what the web site visitor is seeing on his or her screen. Unfortunately, what looks one way on our monitor can end up looking somewhat different on your home computer or office computer.
Here are few reasons why your website may look different on other computers:
Operating System Differences – Windows and Macintosh and the two most common used operating systems that are used today. Within each of those operating systems are a variety of versions (For example Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS X, etc). Each of these systems come with their own separate fonts and display settings which may cause the website to look different between other computers.
Browser Differences – Currently the most popular web browser is Internet Explorer. Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc., are just a few other browsers you can choose from. Just like operating systems, there are different versions of browsers as well (For example: Internet Explorer 5.0, Internet Explorer 5.5, and Internet Explorer 6.0, etc). Each version of these browsers may read web code differently which may cause your website to look differently on other computers. What other types of businesses have you designed for?We mainly design for small businesses. Please review our portfolio to see some of our work. www.pdrwebsolutions.com/portfolio.html

Search Engine Optimization FAQWhat is SEO?SEO is the process of improving the volume or traffic to a web site from search engines via organic search results. The earlier a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. What is page rank?Page Rank is a factor in which Google determines the search engine ranking of web sites. Page Rank is a numerical figure assigned by Google to express the importance, relevance and validity of a website based on the number of links pointing to the website.
What are Meta tags?Meta tags are HTML codes that are inserted into the header on a web page, after the title tag. These tags are used by search engines to allow them to more accurately list your site in their indexes. Should I create a blog for SEO purposes?Blogs have fresh, unique content which search engines favor. If articles are added frequently, search engines will come back more often to index new content. Blogs will also show up in blog searches such as Google’s Blog searches and Technorati Blog searches.
What are crawlers and how do they work?1. Crawler-based search engines (Google) "crawl" or "spider" the internet 2. The spider visits a web page, reads it, and then follows links to other pages within the site. 3. The spider returns to the site on a regular basis, such as every month or two, to look for changes. 4. Everything the spider finds goes into an index. The index is like a giant book containing a copy of every web page that the spider finds. 5. The search engine program sifts through pages recorded in the index to find matches to a search and rank them in order of what it believes is most relevant How long is it going to take before I see an improvement in my website’s search engine rankings?Every SEO campaign’s results will vary. The competitiveness of your market and keywords are variables that affect each SEO campaign. Some campaigns may take weeks others 3-6 months or more for measurable changes to be observed.
