[Theme:Twenty Twelve] IE8. Lot of work down drain.

Well – obviously someone will point out the fact that I should have known this. I get it.

Just finished a site using Twenty Twelve. I like the flexibiliy of modifying default WordPress themes. (Child themes of course)

However – I did not know that Twenty Twelve basically doesn’t work in Internet Explorer 8.

Did not know until client let me know. Yes – the client still uses IE 8 and will – until a moratorium from above orders change. Bureaucracy at it’s best.

Anyway – a paying project sits in limbo that needs a solution.

1 – Is there a responsive theme out there similar to the look of twenty twelve but actually doesn’t abandon IE8?

2 – Or are there ANY fixes for twenty twelve that help the situation?

Someone could make a premium site that looks and acts like twenty twelve but actually works.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
