Recently, Mashable published an article entitled “IE6 Finally Nearing Extinction”, announcing that IE6 usage in the United States and Europe has finally dropped below 5%.
That news probably warmed the cockles of the hearts of web designers everywhere. Thus, it seems designers and developers now have even more incentive to stop supporting IE6, following the pattern set by Google, notably with regards to YouTube.
The stats in the Mashable article are based on StatCounter Global Stats. In this article, I’ll provide some food for thought by way of some alternative statistics that in many ways contradict the sources for the article published by Mashable.
These stats should drive home the point that every website is different, and that in some cases it may still be necessary to provide a fairly decent experience in IE6, while progressively enhancing design and functionality for newer browsers.
Below is a screenshot from the June browser version report for Europe, with IE6’s share indicated:
But developers should not be so quick to jump on this bandwagon. The statistics that the Mashable article were based on are specific to Europe and the U.S. (which are obviously huge markets), so the advice given in so many areas of web design likewise applies here: Design for your audience, and don’t be swayed by trends.

Dealing with browser inconsistencies often makes up a majority of the work for a web designer. Sometimes there is no reasonable way to accomplish a desired layout in all major web browsers without the use of some special exception rules for certain layout engines. Hacks necessarily lead to potential complications and should be avoided whenever possible, but when the circumstances require hacks to be used, it’s best to know what your options are and weigh the consequences appropriately. The purpose of this article is to describe some of the CSS hacks, also called CSS filters, with the least significant potential consequences.

Have you ever wondered why how drugs are capable enough to make you addicted to them. And, the strangest thing that you don’t even get to know when they become the inescapable part of your life. So does the Internet guys, someone has put it right;
“If addiction is judged by how long a dumb animal will sit pressing a lever to get a ‘fix’ of something, to its own detriment, then I would conclude that net news is far more addictive than cocaine.” – Rob Stampfli

Almost every tourist on the planet does a spot of virtual sightseeing on the internet before going on holiday, so if you want to be one of the finest tour operators in your region, you need to present a fine face online. Let’s see how Nett can help Richard Graham’s My Sydney Detour.
Challenge 1: I want my website tohave a ‘wow’ factor, but I’ve had design challenges
Richard: I came to you because I’m onto my fourth web designer in two years. The first gave me a great graphic design but was unable to reproduce that as a website. He was using Flash and had problems with different screen sizes and web browsers. And then the cost blew out and that ended that. The second tried to get me to offer bookings online but unfortunately he registered my domain name under his ABN. Then he jacked up the prices for the graphic design work and blackmailed me. Basically, he said: “I’ll give you all the content we’ve done so far on the proviso you give me a $2,000 severance fee.” I told him to jump. So I rebranded and started again. The third guy simply couldn’t meet his deadlines. I’ve finally found a designer I’m happy with and we’re working on getting the mix right.
