Read More  | | | | | | | | | | | |  | Welcome To The Home Of SEO Technology | Why W3C Compliance is important How does meeting the World Wide Web Consortium's standards benefit you? The term 'W3C Compliance' is slowly becoming a buzzword within the web promotion industry without the term's meaning actually being explained to online business owners and less experienced webmasters in Cyprus, the UK and elsewhere, many of whom are still unsure as to what exactly W3C even is. What is it and how does it affect my site? The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was established in 1994 to create a universally accepted set of standards by which web sites and pages should be coded and structured. All standards laid down by the Consortium are founded upon ‘correct’ coding of HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and other accepted internet programming languages. It is important to remember that webmasters are not forced to adhere to the given standards, since web browsers such as Internet Explorer™, Firefox, Opera™, etc are able to display web pages correctly even if these are coded poorly. There are nonetheless a large number of good reasons why W3C compliance should be implemented in the creation of sites by conscientious designers, and online business owners: - Full compliance removes the barriers which may otherwise prevent your site from being indexed properly by the major search engines.
A poorly coded site will oftentimes confuse search engine spiders attempting to index its content and may ultimately result in search engines downgrading the relevance of a site for any given topic or, worse still, being unable to index it altogether. W3C compliance ensures that search engine spiders are able to follow a coherent path and index the text content of your site in a coherent and logical manner. - It also ensures the functionality of your web site across a range of platforms. A growing number of 'surfers' are accessing the internet through PDA computers and mobile phones. Compliant sites will retain their functionality on these devices, where non-compliant sites may well suffer severe errors or be completely inaccessible.
- Furthermore, full compliance will also prevent browser errors.
These days, most sites are designed with Microsoft's Internet Explorer in mind and as such, will function perfectly when viewed with this particular browser. Recent times however have seen a substantial increase in the number of surfers using alternative browsers such as Mozilla's Firefox, Opera and others to view web sites. Poor coding standards can sometimes lead to on-screen errors such as graphics shift or text overlap on these alternative products, thus severely reducing a site's appeal. W3C compliance will ensure that a site retains its looks and functionality regardless of browser software, colour-depth or screen resolution of the viewer's computer. - Last but by no means least; accessibility for the disabled.
Although the near future will see the implementation of laws across the European Union making it mandatory for web sites to comply with disability access standards, this particular facet of web development is still being ignored by the vast majority of industry professionals both in Cyprus and elsewhere. By ensuring that your site is fully compliant with the W3C's standards and guidelines you are also guaranteeing accessibility through screen-readers, text-only browsers and other disability orientated browser media.
