Move Your Business Online
On Christmas Day alone, an estimated 5 million shoppers made their purchases online†, proving that the more ubiquitous the internet becomes, the more familiar people become with online shopping.
The internet allows customers to shop from the comfort and convenience of their home, where a computer monitor has become better for window shopping than a window itself. Now more than ever, it’s critical that business owners open up their own online storefront, before they get left behind. (more…)
Why You Should Stop Using Internet Explorer
Sure, it comes pre-installed with Windows, and you’ve got to have it to use Netflix’s Watch Instantly service, but that’s where the benefits of IE stop.
Why is IE so bad? Mainly because it’s the least compatible browser when it comes to web coding standards, not to mention that it uses more of your CPU power than the other browsers. But is it really that big a deal?
From a web designer’s perspective, there are few things more frusterating than having to make your websites compatible across several different browsers, especially when Internet Explorer needs special tweeks and hacks just to get it to function “simliarly.” Not only does this mean more time for the designer, but consequently, more cost for the client.
Instead, people should be using a browser like Firefox that is available on both PC and Mac, requires less CPU than IE, and adheres to all the web standards. Trust me, your web browsing experience will get faster, cleaner, and more consistant in quality.
Until IE launches a completely compliant version, you should seriously consider using a different browser. The differences at first will be subtle, but in time you’ll realize you’ve been missing out.
Let me guess... Your designer bailed? Didn't finish their work? Won't return your calls? Doesn't know what they're doing? Just flat out disappeared?
