Thats external users; its a small company in terms of employees and internal 
users are filtered out of the statistics (at least for registered PCs). 
Being so small no standard is defined. The website that was taken from is

Yes, agreed.

You wouldn't want to risk losing a potential client, so yes its important to 
ensure your information can be read by as wide an audience as possible.
