There are a number of techniques to help make websites cross-browser compatible, like using standard layouts and fonts, and using a "CSS reset" script. A very popular CSS reset is Normalize.css.

Another idea is to adopt a styling framework made specifically to be cross-browser compatible such as Bootstrap.

You might look for some of the the cross-browser compatibility styling guides available on the internet. Many (but not all) are free. A CSS reset is a good start, but as you have discovered, total compatibility is matter of skillful application of styling choices.

I believe there are even some software tools around designed to help achieve compatibility (but I think those were all commercial $$ products).
