Browser Size - From Google Labs.

Couple of weeks back Google posted a very informative post about a new tool from Google Lab called the Browser Size.

It can give you a basic idea about how much of your webpage is immediately visible to your visitor depending on the size of their monitor and resolution settings.

So, for all those who are designing their new site or are revamping their old one, this tool can be of great use to help you decide where to place your USPs.

Here is an example from the Website Optimizer homepage:


Click to see full-size

Now you can plug your site into Browser Size and you’ll get visitors perspective. Each band of color represents approximately how many visitors will see that section immediately upon landing (the seemingly shaky lines are actually a true representation of the visible area excluding the title bar, toolbars, etc).

So get back to the optimization grindstone, squeeze another percentage point or two into your conversion rate, and give all of your visitors the experience they deserve.
