Why You Need W3C Compliant Design
August 22nd, 2008 by Richard
Whether you've just started looking or have been searching for the ideal design and development team to work on your site, you will more than likely have seen reference to W3c compliant design. The primary concern of W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) compliance is that people with disabilities such as visual impairment are able to access and view the entire site without being prevented in doing so. Alternatives to visual elements need to be provided so that everybody can view the site but also so that search engine spiders can access and index those elements.
While this is an important part of W3C compliance, it also helps to set standards for the industry and a site that is designed using valid, standard code will be accessible by all human and software based visitors. While web based technologies progress in huge leaps and bounds virtually every day, ensuring that pages are designed using standards compliant coding will essentially future proof your website.
Ensuring standards compliant design is also the long term option because it will make redesigns, additions, and new features easier to control. Every design company or agency should be able to work with standards based code. If, in the future, you decide on the addition of a new web based platform to enhance the effectiveness of your existing site you will find it easier because the developer will essentially be able to hit the ground running in developing and adding the new application.
