It’s no secret- 3Folders (especially me) love Google. Seems like every week there’s a new Google tool being unveiled. (Don’t believe us? Here’s one, and two we’ve written about before.)

This holiday week I’m here to share a very quick tip for using Google’s new Browser Size to your advantage. (Because, let’s be honest, you’ve got wrapping and buying and tinsling and caroling to get done).

What is it? According to Mashable, the site “aims to help website owners solve one of the most fundamental problems in web design: How should I lay out and design my website for higher engagement and conversions?”

Here’s how it works: Click this link. Then, once your on the page, enter your website or blog address. Voila! You’ll see a transparent overlay showing the percent of vistors who can see various content on your site. As the app points out, if you’re a nonprofit with a “donate” button that only 20% of people can see on a first visit, you’re in trouble.

On a high level, Google’s Browser Size will help inform your decisions in building a website that keeps your visitors engaged, finding what they’re looking for, and coming back in the future.

See? We promised we’d be short and to the point! Onward to the eggnog!
