As of today, I’m Done with IE6!
One of the reasons for my lack of posting here is I have spent the last few months slaving of some sites I’ve been working on. After all that time I’ve come to a decision that I will no longer support IE6 with my sites.
I am so sick & tired of working on site for what seems like for ever only to look with wide eyed horror as I bring them up in IE6. Well no more!
As of this posting, I won’t do it. Tonight I’ll be upgrading the only PC in my house that still has IE6 on it. I’m not even going to look. Looking at the stats it looks like the number of IE6 users is steadily declining anyway.
Besides, your opinion may vary but frankly, my time is too valuable to me to spend more time tweaking a site for the 25% of IE6 users that I spend building it for everyone else. Covering 75% is good enough for me.
Plus I figure if I were to have a conversion rate of say, 6% (6 sales per hundred visitors, right?), odds are that none of those sales came from the 25 IE6 visitors, or maybe they all did who knows. Honestly, I don’t care anymore. I am no longer supporting or bending over backwards for IE6 users and if they don’t like it, well then, just don’t come to my site I don’t really need you anyway. Got it?
If you are still supporting this monstrosity I would plead with you to stop! It’s time has come and it needs to go away now.
