What Website Validation Means to You
February 13, 2007

Perhaps you have seen some graphics on websites before regarding HTML or CSS validation. What does this mean? How important is it to having a successful website?

Creating a website properly is extremely important. If the website is not constructed or laid out well, search engines may have trouble crawling it and users may have trouble browsing through it. That cannot be stressed enough. If you feel your website lacks organization, please contact Ohio Connect immediately for a free consultation.

However, a properly constructed website does not necessarily mean that it needs to be validated. In fact, many large websites on the Internet are not valid HTML or CSS. Still, finding a web developer who has the ability to create valid code is important. You want to have a developer with extensive knowledge and ability so you can be prepared for any obstacles, and so you can have someone to turn to when you need any type of work done on your site.

More important than having valid code is having a website that displays properly on all web browsers. You should check out your website on different browsers and platforms such as Internet Explorer for a PC, Internet Explorer for a Mac, Firefox for both, and Safari. If your website doesn't look right on all of those, your website needs to be repaired, and validating your code is the first step. Contact Ohio Connect for help in this regard, and we'll make sure your website is visible on all browsers the way you want it to be.
