1955 Design | Websites that Look Good, Work Properly and Search Engines Love
Internet Explorer 6.0

I am currently cross browser testing and trouble shooting a new website project that I am working on. It’s coming along nicely and will prove to be a nice website for my client. However…

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate designing websites so that they still function in Internet Explorer 6.0. If I haven’t mentioned it lately, consider this to be a definitive declaration on the subject.

I hate Internet Explorer 6.0!

If there is anyone out there who doesn’t hate it, please leave me a comment and support the reasons you don’t.

I’ve been developing websites at 1955 Design for several years. I’ve designed and implemented dozens and dozens of websites. In that time, I have only had one contract go south on me. The client simply was not willing to comply with the terms of the original contract, wanted to keep adding additional features and time consuming modules to the project, and finally the lines of communication broke down. Even though I had a cause of action against him, in my opinion, we parted ways with me having done 95% of the work for the original 50% deposit paid.

That has been the exception. Each and every one of my other projects has been completeled smoothly and to the full satisfaction of the client. Sure, there have been some bumps along the way and some issues that need to be worked out from time to time with a given client, but for the most part the process works smoothly.

Consistency is good. So is change. What’s better, change or consistency?

I decided that it was time to change the look of the 1955 Design website. After some considerable thought, and viewing thousands of other wesites and seeing what I liked best (and least) about them, I finally designed a new WordPress theme to control my website.

It’s fresh, clean, contemporary, professional and most of all avoids the clutter that often litters other websites. To be honest, my old theme was littered with this clutter and I am glad to have streamlined it a bit.

What do you think of the new theme?
