Some Background information
We have developed the application against the two most popular standards compliant browsers – Firefox 3 and Safari 3, then made necessary fixes for IE 7
We have used the HTML 4.01 Strict DOCTYPE
Firefox 3, Safari 3 & IE 7 will cover 85% of our target audience — according to Urchin stats during a brief AdWords campaign
Going forward we would obviously plan to support Chrome and IE 8
Financial restrictions preclude further testing, our only other option would be to not release at all.
So is it better to release and be damned?
Better than…what? Not release at all? Yes, definitely. If financial restrictions are stopping you from testing on other platforms, it sounds like you have a choice between getting it out there and scrapping it completely – I’d go with the former every time.
