Re: [WSG] Hi there!

Hi Erica--

I'm new to the whole Web design thing, but to answer your question, I would say No. Granted that's just my opinion, but the way I see it, time marches on and so does the Web.

regards,

Hi there guys, I'm new :) My name is Erica and I'm a 21 year old graphic design student (only 2 more years to go! Yay!)   I have a question though, and it's something that I've really been trying to put a lot of thought into.   When building sites using the web standards, the stone-age browsers (Netscape and IE 4 are the two that I'm talking about specifically), are there really enough people out there with browsers that old that we should hack our CSS/etc to make things look okay to them?   How exactly would you do that, anyway? If you're not using any design markup in your actual html document, and those browsers can't read CSS - do you make another site specifically for them? Do you create a page that asks for them to upgrade their browser?   I can justify going back to IE 5.5, and even IE 5.0 to an extent... but is it really worth our time to go all the way back to the 4.0 browsers?   Thanks for your opinions!   -Erica Jean
