All HTML, XHTML and CSS code written by myself is fully compliant with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). All templates and static web pages are hand coded to ensure that the code is kept to a minimum.

Why should code be compliant?

Following W3C guidelines ensures that your website has the best possible chance of being viewed correctly on different web browsers and computer platforms, since all browsers aim towards compliance with existing HTML and CSS standards.

If a designers code is not compliant and there are errors in a web page, browsers typically try to compensate in different ways. Hence some browsers may ignore the broken elements while others make assumptions about what was trying to achieve. When a search engines visits your page and tries to read them for keywords, they will also have to make certain decisions about what to do with the errors. Like browsers, different search engines will make different decisions about those errors which can result in certain parts of your web page (or perhaps even the entire website) not being indexed.

In addition to validating all XHTML and CSS code with the online W3C validators I also test on both a Windows PC and Apple Mac using Internet Explorer 7 (Windows), Internet Explorer 8 (Windows) Firefox (Windows and Mac) latest versions, Safari (Mac) latest version, Comino (Mac) latest version, Chrome (Windows & and Mac) latest version. This ensures that your website will be views as designed by the majority of website visitors. If you have any other specific requirements let me know.
