PMRS, Inc.
What the client wanted:
A newly-redesigned website to represent their corporate face on the internet. They had concerns about the site being visible in IE6, possibly without JavaScript enabled, due to their target audience using almost exculsively large corporate internet connections with older technology and security restrictions.
What I delivered:
The design itself has a number of floating elements, including Flash and irregularly-repeating backgrounds with alpha-channel elements. PNGs were going to be necessary, and to make sure they worked in IE6, I employed the TwinHelix IE6 PNG hack. This lead me to the horrible realization that positioning background PNGs is problematic in IE6, so there were a few concessions made for IE6 support, but largely, the site looks identical in all browsers.
There was no concern with SEO friendliness, so I went with a JavaScript-based dropdown menu for multi-level support. To compensate for the possibility of a JS being disabled, each top-level menu item has its own landing page, and there is a separate stylesheet loaded with a noscript tag.
