Web Standards and Proper Coding
This website is created with HTML and CSS. All the code conforms to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards for how code should be written. The code is written to be more accessible to users with disabilities and to be viewed on internet browsers that utilize these standards. We want our (and your) website to be viewable by anyone so we take the time to write proper code.
Benefits of using standards
- Modifications to a website can take less time
- Sites can load faster from page to page
- There is a greater possibility that the next person in charge of the website will be able to understand how it is built (assuming they know the standards)
- Search engines don't have to sort through colors, font sizes and behavior scripts to find the information they need to index.
- The same web page can be formatted for differently for screens, printers, handheld devices and any number of other device.
- There is no more need for “printer friendly” versions of websites or special buttons that users must find. Formatting for a printer is easy. Go ahead, try printing this page. No text cut off here!
- The design possibilities are greater!
We can do this for your site as well. Contact us to find out how Manufacturing-Works™ can help your business on the World Wide Web.
Valid code and proper coding styles
The code that is used to build websites can be validated through the W3C's validations services. The HTML can be run through the HTML validator, and the CSS through the CSS Validator. Validating the code will give you an idea of how well the code was made, and where possible problems with the site may be coming from.

HTML is
the structure of the page, and was not designed to be a “fix all” for
creating graphic-rich sites. HTML should
define the paragraphs, sections, headings, etc... of the page. CSS is
then used to place the elements and the graphics.
This website is compliant with the W3C's HTML standards.
