If a project includes HTML markup and CSS, we'll develop these using valid HTML and CSS code. The landscape of web browsers and devices change regularly and our approach is to look forward, not back. With that in mind we test all our markup and CSS in current versions of all major desktop browsers to ensure that we make the most from them. Users of older or less capable browsers or devices will experience a design that is appropriate to the capabilities of their platform and version.
We do not cater for people using Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (or earlier versions) and cannot predict the behaviour of that browser. We will also test that your web site performs well on Apple's iPad. We will not test on old or abandoned browsers, for example Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 9 or earlier, previous versions of Apple's Safari, Mozilla Firefox or Opera unless otherwise specified. If you need us to consider these older browsers, we will charge you at our standard rate for any necessary additional design work, development and testing.
