No more support for Internet Explorer 6 (IE6)

0 comments

As of 2010 we are dropping support for Internet Explorer 6 (IE6).  IE6 is currently 9 years old, and is inadequate for modern websites.  IE6 is also full of security related problems which could leave your computer vulnerable to hacking attacks or computer virusses.

Who feels the same

Various other big companies including the owner of IE6 (Microsoft) has dropped support on some of its products. These are a couple of mentionable sites that no longer support IE6:

• Youtube
• Google Docs
• Microsoft Office Online
• Germany's government

To further prove our point, Microsoft even created a countdown website that shows current IE6 usage statistics - IE6 countdown.

What should you do?

You can easily "upgrade" your online experience by choosing one of the following browsers - they are all free, and we recommend any of them. Try Google Chrome for the fastest and currently the best web experience. These web browser recommendations are listed in order of preference:

• Google Chrome
• Firefox
• Opera
• or a more recent version of Internet Explorer

All is not lost

If you do require your new website to work in IE6, ask us about it, we might be able to get it working at an additional fee.
