Comments on: Building the web for non-techies http://minute44.com/archives/lifestyle/building-the-web-for-non-techies Just another WordPress weblog Mon, 08 Aug 2011 19:22:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dan http://minute44.com/archives/lifestyle/building-the-web-for-non-techies/comment-page-1#comment-261 Dan Mon, 27 Apr 2009 20:44:24 +0000 http://www.minute44.com/?p=446#comment-261 Hey man, thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you didn't take offence to the link to your work I used in a negative light. A lot of people could have been pissed. Rest assured it was nothing personal. As a member of WebForumz I just had your site in the front of my mind as an example of a sideways scroller. As for "thumbing our noses at IE6" I'll simply ask this question; Are you successful enough to be able to turn down work? If yes, then by all means stop writing for IE6. If you need every job you can get then you'd just be daft to ignore the number of IE6 uesrs that there are <em>still</em> out there. Hope you enjoy the site. Thanks again. Dan.

As for “thumbing our noses at IE6″ I’ll simply ask this question; Are you successful enough to be able to turn down work? If yes, then by all means stop writing for IE6. If you need every job you can get then you’d just be daft to ignore the number of IE6 uesrs that there are still out there.

Hope you enjoy the site. Thanks again.

Its for a portfolio page and I thought the sideways scroll would show a bit of range. But I agree with the point about people being familiar with what they know. can we not just thumb our noses at ie6? cause im about done fixing things for that godawful ancient browser that has now got 2 sequels to upgrade to as well as countless other alternatives! oh wow you used me as an example of what not to do on the web :) (scrolling sideways siobhandiamondphotography) im just pretty happy I got a mention!

Have a clear link next to any password field that says "Forgotten your password? No problem." or something similar and make sure that when they click that, they're not made to jump through endless hoops. Of course measures such as password hints are always an excellent idea as they would remind the user of their password without them having to leave the site and look in their email.

I have so many clients that forget their passwords and will often contact me for it. What would you recommend as an easy solution to help them remember it or retrieve it on their own?
