Governments and other big organizations REFUSE to update their browsers because they need IE 6 to support legacy software (I used to work in provincial government in Canada: I know). Spouting off about "web standards" (whatever that means to a client) is worthless -- they'll tell you it still looks wrong.
Tell them IE6 costs extra and at least your trouble will be worth your while (or you can skip IE6 dev time). It's not unlike paying more to the mechanic who works on vintage Mini Coopers versus new BMW ones; the vintage skill is more specialized and harder work in lessening demand.
- fady 16y agoI agree with charging extra. It's a good tactic to see if they understand, as they certainly will understand spending more money, vs supporting web standards.
