Browser Support

20.0 Abstraction Marketing does its best to ensure the websites they build work well on all modern browsers. Viewing a website in a very old browser is likely to render the website in a poor manner. Our browser policy is to ensure the websites we build render as they should on the following browsers:

Internet Explorer 10 or later (Microsoft Edge as it is now)
The latest version of Firefox
The latest versions of Chrome and Safari

Please be aware however that even in these browsers there might be slight differences in appearance and functionality: it's impossible to ensure everything renders identically in all browsers without creating specific multiple versions of websites at an additional cost.

Some older browsers are incapable of rendering modern websites. For these browsers, we will do our best to ensure the website we develop render satisfactorily.

If you are using a CMS (content management system) to update the website we have built for you, we support only the latest version of these web browsers:

Firefox
Chrome

Most of the websites that we build will be mobile-friendly, meaning they will render accordingly for the device they are being displayed on. We will ensure that the website we have built will look correct on the latest versions of iOS and Android.

That's OK Cookie Policy
