The Death of IE6.

by: mRko

Memorial services for the browser will be held March 1, 2010 in Mountain View, California.

With advances in modern web design older browsers such as the bane of my existence, IE6, are rendered obsolete. Finally more and more companies, including Google, are discontinuing support for this severely outdated browser. Seriously, there is IE8 for pete’s sake. Any competent web designer knows we must maintain the web standards and accessibility for ourselves and our clients’ sites. This pinnacle moment in web design will hopefully liberate designers allowing the web grow as the ever evolving beautiful beast that it is .

Enjoy the internet to it’s full capacity and make sure you are using the most recent version or your web browser, whether it is Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and if you must IE.

When Less is More

by: Nick

In the past 5 years, we have seen an explosion in terms of effects and imagery used in web design.  Like everything else in design, it seams that web design is finally coming full circle in this respect.  With the rise of search engine marketing and a return to user-friendly functionality, some of the more successful online brands are using a minimalist approach.  At Think New, we have always designed with SEO foremost, an approach that many visual designers find lacking.  We have found it in no way limits the potential of design, but rather serves as a guide in designing a functional web 2.0 site.  This is of even more importance on a local level.  Our Charleston web design clients have seen the most success from this practice.
