Being located and operating out of Peoria, Illinois, TJ Dub Web Design is always very happy and excited to build websites serving clients in Central Illinois. To that end, we just launched Illinois Adventures which we are very proud of. It is a website that will list all the events, activities and stories taking place in Illinois.

It's a great resource for everyone living in central Illinois and TJ Dub is proud of our involvement in the project.

Open letter to all clients using TJ Dub for hosting:

I cannot apologize enough, but the server that TJ Dub uses for hosting suffered a massive outage for the past 16 hours.

Some sites were able to be transferred within a couple hours in the early hours of the morning and should have never experienced any downtime. Some sites were not so fortunate, losing a day of hosting while your site was down.

Please believe me when I say that this outage is not at all typical of the hosting that TJ Dub supplies and we are taking measures to ensure it will not happen again.

Thanks for visiting the new and improved TJDub.com! The old design was getting a little long in the tooth for a company that prides itself on innovative website design, so the old website has been completely demolished and turned into the one you see now. Please be patient as the dust settles and the wrinkles are ironed out.

The website renovation was done in preparation of the Peoria Chamber of Commerce Business Expo, so if you're one of the Expo's attendees who I talked to, welcome to the site! If you're finding me any other way, I'm glad you're here and I hope you take a look around the site.

It is with a heavy heart that TJ Dub Web Design cuts off support for IE6. Internet Explorer 6.0 was released to the world in August of 2001 and, at the time, was a revolutionary browser that made great strides in CSS support, JavaScript and DOM, and more.

However, all good things must come to an end. Supporting a browser that is closing in on 8 years old is just something that we cannot support in any good conscience. In 2001, IE6 supported many things other browsers didn't. However, in 2009, IE6 is an anchor that is holding back the future of the web. Supporting a browser that old means inflated code, hacks to make it work in an old browser, and leaving out features that don't work across the board. Rather than face these circumstances, we're cutting off support for this old browser and recommending many other free solutions that are much better supported in today's internet. Firefox, IE7, Safari and Chrome are all free and respectable browsers.

Of course all our sites are still viewable in IE6, but no longer optimized for it. Some features may not work and, depending on the site and its complexity, the layout may be a little broken. Web design and development is a fast moving field, and supporting old software holds us back.
