Fully standards compliant websites

W3C, XHTML, CSS . . . it's all nonsense to the average man in the street but this is the stuff that makes the web tick

Standards compliancy - or, in simple terms, a way of making websites work better



In recent years, there's been a huge effort made on the part of most of the major companies to offer some form interoperability across the internet. In very simple terms, this basically means a drive toward making sure that sites appear and behave across the largest possible percentage of browsers, in exactly the way they were intended to appear and behave.

The big problem with the internet is that, from a development point of view, it was previously very difficult to know that the way a site was designed was actually how it would end up looking on the end user's computer. This was down to a number of different reasons - the primary one being the way different browsers interpret code.

In very simple terms, Standards Compliancy serves to address the problems thrown up by different users using different browsers by setting up a standardised language that can be interpreted in the same way by the plethora of browsers currently in use. It does a lot more besides as well but these are the details that likely interest us far more than you!

Trust us - from our point of view, the advent of Standards Compliancy is a blessing and it's the reason all our sites are now designed this way. It's also the reason that we can feel confident all our sites appear the way we designed them - no matter what browser the end user is employing.
