PlatformSoftware developers need to know which platform their software will be
running on. A platform can be an Intel processor running Windows, a
Macintosh running System 8, or any combination of hardware and software
that works together. Platforms are important for Web designers to
understand, because they need to make sure their pages will work on more
than one platform. Different browsers display Web pages differently on
various platforms. Since the Internet itself is a cross-platform system,
designers need to test Web pages on different combinations of machines and
browsers to ensure the widest possible audience will be able to view their
sites.
