Compliant Chicago Website Design

Posted 35 days ago by Seth

Why is it so important for Chicago Website Design companies to pay attention and focus on doing things right?  Ask yourself this... Would you go into a building if you knew a city engineer didn't inspect it?  Would you go to a doctor that isn't board certified?  Then why use a Chicago website design company that doesn't validate their work with the W3C.

In todays competitive internet market it is extremely important to work with a company that is following the rules for not only design but for code.  Have you ever been to a website in one browser and it looked one way and then looked at it in another browser and it was different?  This is because the site isn't coded correctly!

Today I was visiting a website that is trying to be the biggest source for finding businesses and companies in the Chicago area and their primary navigation is broken in IE6.  What does broken mean?  It means you can't use it, see it or a variety of these types of problems.  You might say IE6 who still uses that.  Well according to W3Schools "The Largest Web Developer's Site" over 30% of the internet users out there are still using IE6.  That is nearly 1/3 of the potential prospects, clients, advertisers that might not visit their website again because it doesn't work.

Just because I was curious I did a validation on the homepage and it has 543 Errors.  Yes that is correct 543 Errors.  So I ask you again would you walk into a building that had 543 violations with the city inspectors?  I know I wouldn't.

So why else is it important to have a compliant site?  Well not only will it look the right way in the browsers that are following the standards but your website will out perform the competition with the search engines.  Search Engine Optimization 101 is following the rules that are set by the standards, google.com and other search engines.  How can you expect a computer program to know what to do or know where to go next if the computer program receives error messages?  Think about it.  If your site looks better and is built better than the competition don't you think you have a competitive advantage?
