Web Standards!

We are fanatic advocates of building websites according to web standards.

Web Standards are technologies, that let create and interpret web based contents.

Web standards are created primarily by W3C – organization founded by Tim Berners-Lee, the founder of World Wide Web itself. W3C's mission is to bring Web to its full potential and it unites for this goal such companies, as Microsoft, IBM, Apple Computer or Adobe.

Among the most important (at least from our point of view) standards created by W3C you can find:

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and XHTML (eXtensible HyperText Markup Language),

XML (eXtensible Markup Language).

CSS (Cascading Style Sheet).

DOM (Document Object Model).

Where did the problem with web standards come from?

Paradoxically, the problem was caused by members of Consortium – web browsers' makers. Browsers they've built didn't interpret standards uniformly, what caused harm to webdesigners, users and websites' owners all together.

At the apogee of this mess, incompatibilities between browsers reached such level, that webdesigners had to make two versions of same site (sometimes even more) – each for one major browser brand. Needless to say, such actions had their impact on budgets. And when budgets weren't big enough – users of this less popular browser were just blocked.

But this wasn't the end of the problem. Webdesigners, in attempt to find some cure for those incompatibilities, founded it. They worked out lots of tips and tricks, that made websites code bulky and slow loading, reduced accessiblity and made updating more time – and moneyconsuming.

Today situation looks better – most popular browsers support web standards quite well. But there are still thousands of professional, well payed webdesigners, that just don't care and still build websites from last century – using all hacks, tips and tricks, making sites heavy, inaccessible and unusable. Websites, that will certainly fall apart in each modern browser within next few years.
