Why should I worry about browser compatibility?

Your website must be ready for display on all the main browsers. Internet Explorer currently holds 70% of the browser market, a very dominant position. This market share is currently split evenly between IE6 and it's newer cousin IE7 (IE8 is on the way). Firefox now holds up to 25% of the browser market depending upon who is counting whilst Safari and Opera hold the smallest market shares at 1-2% apiece. The important thing is that your site displays on all browsers used by your target audience.

We will ensure that your website is readable on all standard browser technology and any embedded functionality is supported on both MACS and PCs.

If the site does not display well in IE6 then potentially all of your customers will be driven away if your site does not perform well on older technology.
