Get in on the benefits...
Everyone wins!
Improved Page Load Times:
When you incorporate the Standards - the wasted code, excessive
bandwidth, and outdated markup you had with your old website
will be transformed. Your visitors will instantly appreciate
the fast page load times without worrying about their system crashing.
Your visitors' assistive technology devices will smoothly interact
with their preferred web browser. All this will significantly
improve your website's traffic.
Improved Bandwidth Usage:
Sometimes less really is better! Your Standards-compliant web pages will be more streamlined with average page weight reduced by up to 35 percent. The lower bandwidth requirements will also reduce web hosting costs.
Maintainability:
For those of you who dread having to redo most of your website every time a new browser version is released, applying the Standards will reduce production and maintenance costs.
Forward & Backwards Compatability:
Standards-based design is intended to work across multiple browsers, platforms, and technologies. Correct implementation of the Standards into your web design will even accommodate older browser technology and devices. Once you have incorporated the Standards, there will be a greater likelihood that your site will accommodate future browsers and assistive technologies! It's that plain and simple!
Universal Accessibility:
You don't need to sacrifice performance or a sophisticated look and feel in order to comply with accessibility laws and guidelines. Why not have your cake and eat it too? You customers will appreciate it! People with disabilities will appreciate it! Baby Boomers and Senior Citizens will appreciate it, too!
Support for Non-Traditional Devices:
By adhering to the Standards you will accommodate non-traditional browsing devices like PDAs, mobile phones, refreshable Braillers, and screen readers. This will also effectively drive traffic to your website!
