--A Simple Site,
On the Internet left
Text justified right
What should it know of death?
I met a brand new browser
From Microsoft, 'twas said;
The old site lost its power
And thus was left for dead.
"Which version, little Maid,
How many may you be?"
"How many? Seven in all," she said
And wondering looked at me.
Well, first let me say it could have been *a lot* worse! I could have tried a parody of Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 and your website may or may not be performing as originally designed.
Every once in a while, I get the opportunity to blatantly shill for Lux, and this is one of those times. According to the Counter.com, IE7 forcefully entered the market in November with a 7% share of global browser usage. So far, in the month of December, usage has jumped to 11%, and within a very few months, adoption will grow to IE's typical 80% to 90% share.
While IE7 was deftly built to cause as little disruption as possible as it interprets the html built for previous versions, there are differences in how the browser operates that ought to be looked into. Or, rather, your site ought to be looked into, in order to see if it is entirely compatible with what will shortly be the dominant global browser.
Lux Worldwide can help you to ensure your site is displaying properly in IE7. Using Microsoft's 'Readiness Toolkit' and our own testing procedures, we can test your website for IE7 compliance and provide a written report on where your site may be falling down. At prices starting at $495.00 for an up-to 35 page static website, it's a genuine bargain, and very cost effective insurance that one of your key marketing tools - your website - is built for the 21st Century.
