Browser Wars
It's worth mentioning, at this point, that, unless specifically asked, Myrddin
do not design for Internet Explorer 6. This browser was released by Microsoft
almost a decade ago. It has very poor support for modern design techniques.
Microsoft are fully aware of its failings and have released IE 7 (a huge
improvement, but still not perfect) and, now, IE 8. IE 7 & IE 8 are free
upgrades. If you have IE 6 (on Vista or XP) you can upgrade to IE 7 or IE 8 for
free.
Today, very few people are in a situation where they have no alternative but to
use IE 6: mainly office-based workers with very old machines. Web designers need
to jump through a great many hoops to make modern websites work in IE 6 and, as
the number of people using it is so low, it simply isn't worth it.
That said... if you feel that a significant percentage of your customers may
have very old machines and are not able to upgrade, we will design your site so
that it works in IE 6 as well as later versions.
Feel free to contact us if you'd like help upgrading.
