Site Visitors' Statistics

October 2003 - March 2004

When planning your website you will want to make sure that it is accessible to as many people as possible. Amongst other things you will have to consider the browsers being used by your visitors. To help you, I will publish here each month a breakdown of the statistics I have gathered from visitors to my sites in the previous six months.

The bar colour indicates the month:

Operating Systems, Screen Sizes and Colour Depth

Bear in mind that I can't get the figures for screen width and colours for all visitors, only for those using up-to-date browsers, but for what it's worth the figures look like this:
