The Internet is growing everyday because of the vast amount of people involved in the engineering process. With so many people into website development, gadgets creation, writing code,  and implementing new software, it could get a bit messy if we did not create some sort of standard for everyone to follow.

The World Wide Web Consortium (WC3), an international community of organizations, full time staff, and public members led by the web inventor and WC3 CEO  works to develop the web to it’s full potential.

A standard for mark-up languages has been developed in such a way that will allow all browser to view information consistently across the web. A standard for all supporting scripting languages has been created for the purpose of delivering content to end users more reliably.

When planning your website you will want to keep in mind that your site needs to conform to the standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium. Not only will this ensure greater browser compatibility, but will help in regards to your search engine placement as well. Web pages with slow load times and broken html or bad scripting will have more trouble in the long run do to poor performance.

Make sure your web designer validates your website and acts upon any recommendations by the WC3.
