W3C stands for “WORLD WIDE WEB
CONSORTIUM” who are recognized standards organizations for the world wide web,
is a group of experts, the public and it’s staff work together to deliver and
maintain standards on the world wide web called as “Web Standards”. The
markup validation service is a validator by the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) that allow internet users to check HTML, XHTML documents for
well-formed markup. Markup validation is an important step towards ensuring the
technical quality of the web pages; however, is not a complete measure of web
standards conformance. The act of checking a document against these constraints
is called validation, and this is what the Markup validator does.
There are many tools suggested by the
W3C to do this, and anyone who wishes to check the validity of any code
available on the world wide web can use it.
Every software development team abide
by the W3C specifications in every languages they are using.
To have your website validated means
to have your website checked for it’s complacency towards the W3C standards.
Using W3C validation tools, you are able to check how valid your codes are,
what errors are present and how can you correct them. Once your site is
validated completely for no errors, it means that your website will behave the
same way or show up the same exact way as it was planned or designed on most of
the standard web browsers (like IE, Opera and Mozilla Firefox) available today.
There could be rare exceptions on this, but generally it means that your back
end code follows the technical specifications suggested by the W3C.
Do I really need my site W3C validated?
This is a very often question. Many a
times web designers and web masters think that having a beautiful design is
enough to make their websites “standards” and “professional”. Unfortunately,
the reality is far from it. The reason is that your website is not only what it
is seen like on the browser, the code that's behind it matters equally. The W3C
validation checks if the code is in accordance with it's specifications
depending on the language used. And if not, the website would not be considered
as "W3C valid" even though it's a kickass design there.
Why it is Important?
It’s important that your site is W3C
valid to ensure the site works properly on your browser as well as the other
major browsers such as Internet Explorer, firefox, Chrome etc. A website that
contains many errors can suffer from many ill-effects.
The following are some of the ill-effects:-
·
Not displaying properly or
consistently.
·
Not compatible with all major
browsers.
·
Not displaying properly on devices of
varying sizes like mobile devices.
·
Ranks badly on search engines (because
they can’t read the code)
·
Loads elements slowly.
Additionally, websites that are coded
to standards last longer and are “future-proofed” for the most part against
browser updates and the like. If your code is bad, the chances of your website
breaking as browsers update is greater than if the code validated. We believe
in value for our clients and what good is a website that breaks a few months
later?
Search Engine Spiders checks every
website they visit for W3C validation. In fact, if the website is in compliance
with the W3C specifications, then it's easy for the search engines to grab
content from the website and accordingly place them in their index. The search
engines are built the way W3C specifications are, so they are going to look for
those metrics on all the websites, and if they are present on a website, that
makes them "preferable" compared to the rest.
So, if you want your website to be
indexed well by the search engines, and enjoy the traffic from them, then you
better check the W3C compliance of your website and tweak the code so that it
validates well with the W3C tools.
If website is not W3C validated, if it will hurt me?
Now its difficult to make a rock-solid
statement on this. Ideally, W3C wants all the websites to be technically W3C
standards compliant, but that being said, it might not be practically possible.
We've seen that W3C non- compliant websites are hurt in the sense that they
miss out on many opportunities. Like for instance, when Google decides to rank
two websites on first and second positions, assuming that every other search
engine optimization factor are equal, if one website fails to validate for the
W3C guidelines, they then are likely to rank second and not first. We don't
call it "getting hurt" right? It's simply a matter of utilizing the
opportunities we have at hand.
Every website should meet W3C validation
standards if at all possible. It is not only the “right” way to do it, but it
has many lasting benefits, such extending the sites life expectancy,
ensuring compatibility across browsers, increasing load-speed in many
cases and much more. Hopefully this helps you understand why we think it is so
important and why we test all of our websites for W3C validation before deeming
a project complete.
In the nutshell, we should follow the
W3C validations rules and guidelines and VaishnoG Softwares creates the
websites to follow all the rules and guidelines of W3C standards.
