Improved Accessibility
Firstly, accessibility to a wide audience is guaranteed. By carefully structuring and coding our website, we can ensure that people with visual disabilities can access the content on our site just as able-bodied people can. In practice, this means the code we use to write the pages of our website can be understood by screen-readers and modern web browsers alike, with no loss of context or message.
Increased Audience
Accessibility also means making the content of our site accessible to people browsing the internet through devices like mobile phones and PDA's. Standards compliant production ensures that your website can be read and viewed by the largest audience possible.
Improved Search Engine Rankings
Standards compliant production is also about using structural markup to describe your web page. This makes it easier for search engines like Google and Yahoo to index our web pages, and provide more accurate search results determined by the actual content on the page. Google and Yahoo both reward websites that are built using structural and semantic markup.
Future-proof
Standards compliance also removes the need to write clumsy, browser-specific code, which only shortens the life-span of the website and increases development time. By adhering to industry-wide standards, your website is guaranteed to function correctly in future version of web browsers.
