Hi there,
My theme looks good on all browsers. However, when I look on internet Explore the theme is all broken. I can't see the naviagtion and other elements throughout. Please advise. This site is on a local server so please let me know how I can best send you screen shots to show what the issue is.
Thank you,
Luisa

Looking at your screenshot it could be anything from a caching issue, to a minify issue if you use code optimization, etc.
Honestly you cannot support Internet Explorer 11. The browser was barely a browser when it was released and primarily functioned because it made mistakes and overlooked certain technologies.
If the site works in edge, firefox, opera, chrome, and vivaldi for example, then I would tell the client that the browser he is trying to use has not been supported since 2012. (they stopped releasing security patches well before then).
If he wants it working with IE11 you can tell him that his development costs just quadrupled. (not joking as you would have to create an alternate "dumbed down" version of the site which only loads upon IE11 detection). Even then I can guarantee you that the liability alone in supporting IE11 rests purely on the shoulders of your client. Any hack, leak of contact information from contact forms etc. would rest with them.
My professional recommendation is to tell the client that IE11 is not supported by Microsoft themselves, and should not be supported. Also if your client uses IE11 make sure they switch to a secure browser. It is 2020 and IE11 is extremely dangerous to the user.
Good platform though Pablo, while I have my own hicups with BeTheme at times, the code you guys implemented is relatively easy to see through and understand.
