Conforming to Web Standards

i-Zimbra is vigilant in ensuring that all of the websites it designs, builds, or works on are fully compliant with web standards.

This ensures that our websites always measure up to the high standard of quality that our clients and their website visitors expect.

Building Websites to a Quality Standard

World Wide Web Consortium Logo

In order to maintain the standard of quality of sites on the web, a number of standards have arisen by which websites are measured.

While these standards are guidelines only, they are largely accepted as a level to which websites should be formalised.

Websites that conform to web standards have been proven to perform better in search engine results, therefore getting more visits and potentially increasing profit for their business.

Creating High Quality Websites

Web standards were introduced to create a recommended level of quality for websites. Many sites exist which do not comply with current web standards, and while there is no penalty for this, a similar site which is web standard compliant is likely to receive more visitors simply because it looks better, functions better, and achieves better results in search engines.

Standards for websites have been created by a number of bodies, including:-

These are just some of the organisations dedicated to web standardisation. While it may seem daunting that so many groups are involved in this development, they are all working closely together to ensure web standards remain consistent and are quick and simple to implement.


Applying Web Standards to Your Website

Most of the recommendations made by web standards organisations apply to the code of a web page, and may make little or no difference to how the page looks on screen. However, they can make a great deal of difference to how easy the site is to use, how quickly each page downloads, and how easily search engines can find the content of a page.
