At Best4u, we have a number of promises that we honor as soon as a client does business with us. Examples include that you will always receive a response from our support team within four hours and that we always ensure your website is optimally secured. One of those promises is also that we develop every website we deliver according to W3C standards.
The what?
We find it entirely understandable that the W3C standards probably won't ring a bell. As experts in web development and design, we are sometimes inclined to think that everything we say is equally logical and understandable to everyone, which is of course incorrect. Therefore, in this article, we will explain what the W3C entails and why we consider it of great importance that every website we deliver complies with W3C standards. Do you have any questions after reading this? You can always ask them via support@best4u.nl.
World Wide Web Consortium
W3C is the abbreviation for World Wide Web Consortium, an organization founded in 1994 that develops standards for programming languages. These languages fundamentally determine how information is displayed to you on the screen. CSS is the language for styling, HTML deals with structure, and PHP ensures that information can be dynamically updated (such as a year that automatically changes to a new year). Through standards for these languages, the W3C aims to ensure that the capabilities of the internet are fully utilized and that all these capabilities are available to every computer system and every user.
In addition, the W3C has more objectives that all contribute to promoting the interactivity and general availability of the World Wide Web. The W3C is therefore seen as the organization that regulates the current state of affairs regarding the World Wide Web and aims to stimulate innovation.
The benefits of developing according to W3C standards
At Best4u, we therefore consider it important that all websites we develop comply with the standards established by the W3C, despite the fact that these standards are not 'official'. These are the key benefits of a website developed according to W3C standards:
- A W3C validated website is easier to find;
- A W3C validated website has a faster loading time;
- A W3C validated website displays the same in every browser.
Developing according to W3C standards therefore offers significant benefits in terms of usability for you as the website owner and the end users (your potential customers). Reason enough for Best4u to include development according to W3C standards in our brand promises.
