W3C Validation Service

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) sets the standards for coding HTML and CSS for web pages. They also provide tools to validate your code for free

We can re-code your web site pages and fix html errors to make them meet the w3c standards of web site code, This is important to any web site that wants good search engine results. If you have purchased web site maintenance then we throw in w3c validation fix with it.

Why is w3c compliance important? If your site has HTML errors then your site may have visual errors in different browsers, for example internet explorer from Microsoft that comes bundled as standard with most computers may display the web site correctly but yet firefox or some other internet explorer may display it wrong, this is due to bad or dirty coding.

If your site looks fine in most browsers the question you might be asking is, “if my page looks fine in Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, etc. why do I need to worry about validation?” If all you’re looking is for proper display, you might not have to fix or clean the code to meet the w3c standards. However, if you’re concerned at all with search engine optimization (SEO), and you probably should be, validating your source code is a necessity.

One reason for this is the difference between search engine spiders and browsers. Spiders “crawl” the web indexing web pages and their content. They are basically toned-down web browsers that are not concerned with displaying for a user but with recognizing content. In other words, search engine spiders are looking at the same code your web browser is and parsing it in a very similar way. This difference in functionality, however, is vast.

We charge £500 to fix a site and make sure it passes the w3c standards of web coding. You can check to see if your web pages have errors by using the iframe bellow.

So why not get your badge of quality and make sure search engines take your site serious, only sites that pass the validation can use the badge (if you use the badge when your page is not validated search engines can rank you lower) the badge looks like the one in are footer (also available in gold)

Type your url web address into the box and click check to check your page validation, the box bellow is a iframe to http://validator.w3.org/ and is used to validate and check for errors within a web page, the tool will only check one page at a time and you must check each url page separately. If your page does not pass validation but you would like it too please contact us.
