Web design Sunshine Coast
Current web design is all about staying compliant with the latest web standards. When we started our web design business back in 1998 everyone designed using the equivalent of stone age technology in comparison to what is available today.
Web design was like the Wild West - no laws & plenty of cowboys. We now have web standards, compliency, design allowing people with disabilities access to the world wide web.
Over 90% of people view web pages in Internet Explorer and over 90% of those people are using the current Internet Explorer 6. Internet Explorer 7 is going to replace 6.
Our web server administrators are already testing Internet Explorer 7 in order to be ready. It is very likely that IE7 will be pushed out as a forced update to Windows XP users everywhere, as was done for Service Pack 2. The move to IE7 will not be a gradual migration, but a sudden and significant shift.
One night Windows XP users will go to bed using IE6 and the next morning they'll wake up, install a routine update, and just like that they'll be using IE7 to browse the web. That means, that as professional website designers, we have begun preparing immediately for IE7's impending release.
What's different about IE7?
From a user's perspective, improvements include tabbed browsing, better printing, RSS feed integration, more advanced searching, and better security features, as well as a plethora of add-ons to enhance the user experience (similar to Firefox extensions).
We have found that a lot of the older shopping carts are no longer functioning in the current Internet Explorer 6 and expect similar issues with IE7. Our business is professional web design Sunshine Coast and we have replaced / redesigned a number of web sites designed in the days of the "Wild West".
