Since this is a music media site the main user base are expecting
glitz n glamour, bells n whisltes a plenty. Not giving them this is
against the wishes of the site owner.
Did we just hit some kind of crazy-ass time warping worm-hole that
landed us in 1995? Splash page... best viewed with... click here if you
use... Is this Sliders? I thought they canceled that show.
I'd say the only question here is: to standardize or not. I certainly
would *not* be trying to figure out how many sites I need to build. I
already know the answer to that question: One.
If your contract has some kind of "thou shalt not abandon 4.0 browsers"
clause, then you'll have to do what you will to support that
requirement. This route may include design and feature constraints or
degradation in older browsers and it may include non-standard coding to
support older browsers, but there is no way I would build additional
sites, unless I was being paid -- fully -- for each.
