Why Web Standards?
Creative Access is passionate about standards based web site design. Why? Well a standards based web site offers many benefits which include:
- Better search engine results
- With the code being much more compact and well structured, search engines can easily read page content meaning higher search engine placements.
- Decreased maintenance time
- A well designed standards based web site is easier for an experienced web designer to maintain and update, meaning less long term cost for the web site owner.
- Simple visual consistency
- Web page structure and style are separated meaning changes to the look of your entire web site can be made by editing a single CSS style sheet document.
- Accessibility to all devices
- Different PC screen resolutions, mobile phones, pda's, screen readers — a web site created with web standards will be accessible and look better to more people using a larger variety of devices than a non-standards web site.
