Notes
I let her know about IE compatibility with WordPress & certain functions but said we would look into it and see if there's anything we could do.

To what degree is it not compatible?  Are we talking back end?  Front end?  Does it partially display?  Example?

Assumed size of images on the front end.  LSS, IE 11 doesn't support object-fit, which controls the size of featured grid images (as well as the video on the home page).

Went ahead and applied a modernizr solution to conditionally adjust these for IE 11.

Additionally, I anticipated the same question/issue for the video, so I went ahead and prepared a polyfill solution to conditionally tackle the video sizing for IE 11.

One thing to add... is the featured grid won't do the nifty hover animation in IE 11, since the image is now a background image.  I suppose that's the cost of doing such a fix for IE 11.  I figured that was fair, all things considered.

Teresa said that "people shouldn't be using Internet Explorer anyways" so this isn't a big issue for her. She just wants to make sure at the very least, things aren't overlapping and are at least legible and clickable. So still usable, but doesn't have to match the design.
