Web Developer’s Dream

A while back I discovered an awesome site for every web developer. The site is called Browsershots which is an amazing source for checking your site’s design on various computer platforms and various browsers. This great site allows you to select the operating systems/browsers you want from a large selection. This allows you to submit the site to their queue and then you can bookmark the site and come back to it as you like to see the image results. This is very handy for testing your CSS and XHTML markup on various machines and browsers and with specific, or non specific settings for flash, javascript, and color depth.

For those of us who develop sites on one machine, this helps alleviate the “where do I find the other browsers to test with?” question and allows you to debug your code from the convenience of your own computer. This site offers a FREE service and a paid subscription which grants you priority in the queue. The wait times for the FREE service are tolerable and the convenience is worth it. Paying for your subscription is well worth supporting the cause.
