Bring Down Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

As many web designers and developers our there are aware, Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 is now becoming a thorn to the future developments of the web.

Public sector insists on keeping IE6 instead of upgrading to IE8, as IE6 is seen to be more secure and stable; which is actually incorrect.

IE6 has probably more holes than you think as Microsoft no longer support this version.

This isn’t about being anti-Microsoft, it’s about making sure that we encourage people to move to modern browsers such as IE8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Opera.

Help spread the word and raise your business awareness.

Website Design and Development, Web Hosting, Domain Name Registration for Blue Boar Inn and The Lord Nelson Inn

We have been working with a successful landlord that owns two public houses in Warwickshire to deliver their new websites showcasing their offerings.

The brief was to firstly make the the website look friendly and attractive to families and businesses; to show most of their menus and to allow the landlord and manager to update the website according to what they require.
The website caters for all the above and is also search engine optimisation ready and most importantly, content management ready. This will allow the website to be kept updated by the owner allowing  fresh content for new events during the year such as valentines, easter, summer holidays etc…

Another task besides design and developing the website was to manage the web hosting and domain name which we have taken on board on our managed dedicated servers with 99.9% SLA uptime.
