When a web site or web page is described as complying with web standards have you ever wondered what it means?

In technical terms it usually means that the site or page has valid or nearly valid HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Additionally the HTML should also meet accessibility and semantic guidelines which are based on the Web Content Accessibilty Guidelines (WCAG) published by the W3C's Web Accesibiity Initiative (WAI).
 
Internationally many businesses are requiring that their websites conform to some level of WCAG which include: 

• Conformance Level "A": all Priority 1 checkpoints are satisfied.
• Conformance Level "Double-A": all Priority 1 and 2 checkpoints are satisfied.
• Conformance Level "Triple-A": all Priority 1, 2, and 3 checkpoints are satisfied. 

If your business either requires a web standards compliant site or if you are simply interested to learn more contact us and speak to a company who understands your needs.
