quality affordable web design - Web Standards
The Quality Affordable Web Sites created by Bob Fuller Web Design are fully compliant with
W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) guaranteeing validated, clean, error-free coding
in your web pages, more interoperability and cross browser/platform compatability in
accordance with the W3C guidelines. It also means that your website will stand up to
future technologies as they emerge and develop.
How does it affect my website?
These standards help ensure that everyone has access to the information we are
providing, and also make web development faster and more enjoyable. Standards
compliance makes it easier for people with special needs to use the Web. Blind people
may have their computer read web pages to them. People with poor eyesight may have
pages rearranged and magnified for easier reading and people using hand-held devices
can browse the Web just as easily as those using high-end workstations.
Making your sites standards-compliant will help ensure not only that traditional
browsers, old and new, will all be able to present sites properly, but also that they
will work with unusual browsers and media.
Search engines can do a better job of indexing sites, for example. Using
browser-specific code often doubles or triples the work to create web pages and leaves
a lot to be desired when new media are introduced.
Complying with web standards can give your web pages greater visibility in web
searches. The structural information present in compliant documents makes it easy for
search engines to access and evaluate the information in those documents, and they get
indexed more accurately, this, in turn, means a higher ranking web site in searches.
Because use of web standards makes it easier for server-side as well as client-side
software to understand the structure of your document, adding a search engine to your
own site becomes easier and gives better results.
So you can see it makes sense to have a Web Standards compliant site that adheres to
strict accessibility standards.
