NetMechanic's Browser Photo

Does anyone have any experience with this?

I hope this is the correct category. This isn't really a tracking tool but a webmaster tool. Today I saw that this item shows screen shots of your website on 16 different browsers, using PC and Macintosh. Has anyone ever used this? Do you think it is worth $135 per yar. I think it sounds good but I've bought things before that sounded..... and were disappoints.

Thanks

Before spending $135, see if the Site Viewer and the Screen Size Test at anybrowser.com will do the job for you. They're free.

If you test your site with different browsers yourself and are careful in the design stages you should be able to avoid display problems for your site.
As well as the site recommended above you can use the Webpage Backwards Compatibility Viewer (http://www.delorie.com/web/wpbcv.html) to see how your site will display to older browsers.
All in all, I think the browser photo service (I looked into it myself a while back) is only worth it if you have too much money to spend or if you are not prepared to do the work to test a site yourself.

Thanks for the help. That's why I'm always afraid to buy something. It's never worth it.

Thanks again
