All of our websites are coded to be compliant with the standards set by the World Wide Web (W3C) standards.
In order to make the internet accessible to all people, standards in
programming were introduced by W3C. W3C is an organisation that
promotes accessibility in web design by publishing specifications and
guidelines and providing tools and software. Many web designers do not
follow these standards because it requires more technical skill and
because it is more time consuming.
Importance of compliance
Apart from protection from litigation, there are advantages to complying to web design standards which include:
- ensuring that your website is widely accessible to people across
the range of computers and browsers means that you will not lose a
potential sale because your website did not render properly on the
website visitors computer
- compliant sites rank better on search engines, increasing exposure of your website
- changes in technology, such as new versions of browsers are less
likely to affect the way your website renders the design of your
website will look similar for different browsers and computers. Without
compliance, your website may look bad and it may not allow visitors to
navigate your website
