Okay, I'm hoping that some of you guys might have some suggestions here. Basically, I accepted the responsibility of overseeing a redesign of our company's website, which is pretty simple at the moment. I'm reasonably happy with the work that was done (it was pretty bad before), but apparently this "professional" web designer is having the toughest time getting our site to look nice in both IE and Firefox. Firefox is especially important to us because we're in a technical field, and it seems to be far more common among computer-savvy people than even the roughly 15% of the general population that uses it.
So, my question is: does this guy have a good reason to be so hesitant about doing the work required to get the page to render the same in FF and IE? I mean, in this day I never see sites that don't render nearly identically in both browsers, and I'm having a hard time swallowing that such a simple website would present such a challenge--especially when it's mostly little things like spacing of stacked links/bulleted lists, and the style of the links.
Anyways, here's the address: www.receptorsllc.com For example, look at the index page in both browsers, and you'll see how (especially the bottom half) in FF it looks rough and unfinished. He didn't even test in FF, as the menu bar was completely non-functional, except in IE, at the time the site went live.
I have admin access to the account it's hosted on, so if it's absolutely necessary I can edit the code myself, but I'm not about to do that when I just got done paying someone for a job I don't believe he's finished. Comments and suggestions???
