Screenfly – A Smart Free Tool for Testing Your Mobile/Responsive Website Design

Have you done with your mobile website designing process? What is the next step now? Website appearance testing under different device and screen resolution is must before taking any step forward. With the availability of lots of smart phones and tablets from different brands in the market, it is very difficult to test the website in each and every hardware. At the same time you cannot move further without proper designing testing. Here is the solution for that,

The screenplay is the tool provided by the Quicktools and it allows you to view how your site will appear in different screen resolution and different devices. It uses a proxy server to simulate the devices while you test the website appearance.  It is a completely free tool which has options to show you how a website will look in different screen resolutions from Mobile phones to television screens including Tablet, Desktop monitor and different laptop screens. What you need to do is just enter the website URL in the search box and get started with the testing process.

Highlight to Some Important Features: 


Accessible for All Devices.

As you can see on the main menu, this tool allows you to test the website in different devices like Mobile Phone, Smart Phones, Tablets, Desktop Screens, Laptop Screens and big Television Screens. So now with this tool you have no need to install different software for different devices.


Maximum Available Resolutions for Specific Device. 

The screenplay offers the all possible resolutions for a specific product. Suppose you want to test your website in Tablet devices, this tool offers the screen resolution for different tablet devices like Kindle Fire 7” (533*853), Kindle Fire (600*800), Google Nexus 7 (603*966), Apple iPad 1-3/Mini (768*1024) etc.

Custom Screen Size.

A main advantage of Responsive Web Design is, it works well on all devices with any screen resolutions. Along with testing it on popular mobiles and tablets, you can conduct advance testing and test the layout with custom screen resolutions as well.

To make the testing process simple and more effective, it allows you to enter the width and height of your choice and you can check whether it is working well as expected or not for any size of the screen. Thus, you can ensure that your design will work with any resolution or you can debug it and can implement the necessary changes if it doesn’t work well.
