Web standards & guidelines Browser standards consultation
Public consultation on browser standards for public sector websites
This guidance has been developed to assist those delivering public sector websites to determine which web browsers to use for testing. Public sector websites have a responsibility to be inclusive and not exclude groups of users but it would be impractical to test websites on every available browser. These guidelines provide a method for creating a reasonable list of browsers for testing. Further contents include:
- Sample statement of browser support.
- Worked example on creating a browser standard.
- Template for testing websites with different browsers.
