  With touch at its core, Internet Explorer (IE) opens up new possibilities for developers and designers. There are no visible tabs or chrome when you use it in Windows 8. When browsing, controls appear when you need them and vanish when you don’t. The full screen browsing provides a blank canvas to work with, creating a beautiful and seamless experience across apps and the web. We’re also making testing for IE a little easier with free tools at modern.ie.

  Founded in 2010, Potato specialises in the creation of complex web apps, working with companies like Google, BBH, Mother and PayPal from London, Bristol, Amsterdam, San Francisco and Sydney.

  Potato plays home to a multi-disciplined team of webdev experts, tackling projects that range from complex marketing initiatives like Google Engage and massive-scale YouTube channels, to fun, interesting diversions like our getFavicon tool (5.6 billion icons served).

  We love working in the cloud, and as such develop almost solely using services like Google App Engine. As Potato continues to expand we’re also on the hunt for developers to join our team.

  Founded as a games company back in 1985, Binary Vision is now a digital agency serving clients like the Royal Air Force and the NHS.
