Do you support older browsers? For example 8-9 IE? Are such requirements coming from your customers in 2018?

Question

Design

Hello brothers and sisters, I would like to know the trend of your work in the studio or freelance) It was 2018, how often do your customers or project manager ask you to add support for IE 8-9 while the know-how of flex and grids is going on. Or have you already resigned yourself and spit on crutches and these minimum percentages of people who sit in the Savings Bank of Russia or Alpha Bank on windows xp and open their pages on IE.

Answer 1

Only if it is a corporate, and so I think small customers do not use IE, and any normal person tries to bypass it.

Answer 2

There are few orders where old browsers are needed, I always bypass them

Answer 3

Are such requirements coming from your customers in 2018?

There are requests for IE11 support. And okay, if this only concerned development - this also applies to design, since many things are stupidly unrealizable in IE11.

Answer 4

Depends on the requirements of a particular customer.
It is definitely not worth supporting old browsers on your own initiative and for free.
If you have your own project, you can see the statistics of visits and evaluate for yourself whether it is worth it.
If someone else's project - it depends on the terms of payment.
Yes, there are some areas where older browsers are important.
As a rule, there is no Internet in banks at workplaces at all for security reasons.
