When I was weighing the percentage of users actually viewing my sites in IE6, versus the amount of time it took for me to style my websites and hack together a stylesheet to make IE6 look the same, I decided it wasn't worth it to either me or the client. I leave an option available to the client to amend the proposal to include it upon request, but I've written it into my contract at this point that, unless it's specified otherwise, IE6 is not tested.

The numbers using this browser are not insignificant as to totally dismiss it.If it's a personal site and I'm behind on time then it's not a priority.

If it’s a personal site and I’m behind on time then it’s not a priority.

Of course all those fancy PNG images will not work, but these are easily changed to 8-bit PNG in the CSS.Just finished a quite complex project where the feeling of the website is suppose to be similar to a flash site but with better support for SEO. This one works fine in IE6 and there is no difference in the coding except that I kept some of the PNG 24-bit images, to prevent unnecessary coding for IE6.http://skiferie.visitsweden.com Sadly there is still around 20-30% of the 70% that use Internet Explorer out there and it’s actually not that hard to make an IE6 friendly website as long as you follow the W3C standard.

I somewhat worry that I could lose potential clients because when they view my site they may think I don't know how to support IE6 or that I will be stubborn to work with them if they want their website to support IE6 When I redesigned my portfolio site I decided not to support IE6 to take my personal stand at having the web move forward.
