:-( Its like my fireworks have been p*ssed on!
LOL!
I havent got a scooby doo what anyone is talking about! Could someone please tell me how the back office errors will affect my website?
Thankyou!
I will try and explain in a way that is understandable
Firstly:
If you get a book you start reading the first paragraph, all ok written well you move onto paragraph 2 and the writing is starting to get scruffy and bearly unreadable then you move onto paragraph 3 and the writing is alien to you.
Then someone asks what the book was about, your answer would be I dont know I couldnt understand it.
This is how google works they send out what is called a googlebot to go and read you pages, googlebot reads the first paragraph fine then realises the second is messy and the third is unreadable, googlebot goes back to report on your webpages and basically gets asked the same question what was that web page about, googlebots reply is I aint got a bloody clue. What do you think this does for your position in the google search engine, puts you a lot lower down than your competitor that has clean back end code.
Secondly:
People think that Internet Explorer and Firefox are the only two web browsers people use. This is not the case I am sure their is about 100 different web browsers out their that people will be viewing your webpages on. Do you know what your site looks like on these browsers, well with broken code they might not look like anything just a scrambled mess.
And have you taken into consideration disabled people who view on what is called a text viewer so all you lovely images, fancy scrolling text, flash files are not seen.
Internet Explorer is another fine example of Bill Gates trying to rule the world, Internet browser Companies have sets of guidelines to follow to help web developers pages look the same on every browser out their but IE does not stick to these rules. So it can be a pain in the bum to make a site work in IE7, IE6 and FIrefox. If your backend coding is messy then I would put my life on you struggling to get your pages looking spot on in every browser.
