Looks like Microsoft is at it again. Their update of Internet Explorer 7.0 has thrown yet another monkey wrench into every web design job. What is the problem, exactly? Websites that are designed in Dreamweaver or any other program may look fine in Explorer 7.0, but not so in Firefox, Safari, or older 6.0 versions of Explorer, causing a nightmare for designers. Sites may have pictures or graphics shift, or get cut off, making them look terrible for viewers who have Explorer 6.0.
This creates so much extra work, as web designers need to check every page in several browsers and versions. My only question is - WHY? I can understand if things may look slightly different in Firefox vs. Explorer, or PC vs. Mac - but why should different generations of Microsoft's program yield different results? You'd think that they can keep the parameters consistent from 6.0 to 7.0. Maybe Microsoft has something against web designers.
Fear not, Watt Media clients! Our designers check every job in a variety of browsers and make the necessary adjustments to make sure the sites we design look the way they should, no matter where they are viewed.
