Plug-in Installation
Tuesday, 20 October 2009
neutral_box-top.png

Recently we'd been asked about the expandability of our CMS, specifically regarding the installation of plug-ins directly by clients themselves.

While technically it is certainly possible for any of our clients to install plug-ins within their individual CMS installations, we actually do not recommend this.  In fact, we ask all of our clients to please be sure to contact us first before making any modifications to their CMS themselves.

 

There are several reasons for this, but before we elaborate we would like to give an example of an opposite situation...

If a client takes it upon themselves to build their own Web site, they can certainly download and install plug-ins they need to expand upon their original CMS installation in order to make it do whatever it is they want it to do.  If they run into compatibility issues or if something breaks, that client must spend the time figuring out what's wrong and how to correct it.

When a client comes to Studio4Squared to have their Web site built, that client is coming to us for not only our design expertise - but also for our extensive experience with building Web sites using a content management system.

Studio4Squared will do all of the "dirty work" to build the site from scratch.  We'll install the CMS, we'll build the site structure, install any of the necessary plug-ins required for the project, and then teach the client how to edit that content themselves.

 

After we build a site, if a client finds that they require additional capabilities - just let us know and we'll be happy to do the necessary research that may be required, but more importantly we'll do all of the actual work involved to install the plug-in.  We'll be sure there are no compatibility issues, we'll be sure that installing the plug-in or making the core modifications won't wipe out anything.

 

After all, you've got more important things to deal with than worrying about how the backend of your Web site works.  Why not just leave that part to the experts!

Help to Stop Internet Explorer 6
Thursday, 24 September 2009
neutral_box-top.png

dropping_ie_support.jpgPlease help us today by upgrading Internet Explorer 6, with your support we can make the Internet work the way it should.

In case you are unfamiliar with the issue, Internet Explorer 6 was released by Microsoft nearly 10 years ago.  Since then there have been multiple updates as well as faster and more secure browsers to choose from besides IE (such as Safari, Firefox, Opera, etc).

Because a large number of users have chosen not to upgrade from IE6, Web developers are forced to design (and code) with one had tied behind their back.  This causes delays in development time since this outdated browser has to be taken into consideration during a project, and of course - time is money.

If you're still using IE6, be sure to upgrade to a new browser (whether it's the latest version of IE or a better, faster, more secure browser).  If you're not sure about how to upgrade, contact your network administrator and let them know that you're ready to view the Web without restrictions.

For more information, please visit some of these sites to learn more about why IE6 is holding all of us back:  Link 1link 2, link 3, link 4, and link 5.

Moving Forward
Monday, 10 August 2009

We've recently read about several Web developers who are joining together to bring Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) to an end.  IE6 was released in 2001, that's nearly ten years ago now!  ...there's no reason for anyone to be that far behind the tech curve.

We understand that some larger companies will have headaches upgrading their employee's browsers to the latest version of Internet Explorer, but again, it's been nearly 10 years since the release of IE6 - time to do some work.

In order to develop a site that is backwards compatible with IE6, Web developers have to jump through hurdles with one hand and one foot tied behind them.  This is why as of today, Studio4Squared will be redirecting all IE6 viewers to a page alerting them to the problem.  Upgrading your browser is 100% free to all and takes just a few short minutes.  If you're still using IE6, please take a few minutes to easily upgrade your browser so that you can view the Web correctly.
