Ever wanted to test your website in various versions of Internet Explorer?

I do! As a freelance web designer this great software is a must have for me. Why? Because as a web designer, you have to consider designing the website that will be accessible and to both standard compliant and non-standard compliant browsers. In short, you have to design your site in a way that it will still be viewable in older browsers such as IE 5 and IE 6 (Internet Explorer 5 & 6).

Why do you need to design a website that runs smoothly in IE 5 and IE 6? Simply because some other people in the world still runs IE 5 or IE 6 in their computers. So if you don’t design a viewable website to their browsers, you might have just lose your future client for your business, or you just lose a an important buyer. With this future problems, we can still do something in it. With the help of the right tools and right knowledge, we may still be able to overcome the big challenges in web designing.
