Is your Website W3C compliant??

W3C is an acronym for World Wide Web Consortium, and while you may not have heard of them before now, they set the standards for the World Wide Web and websites on the web.

Structure and content are critically important to the success of a website. The most frequent abuses of the ethical and Internet standards of W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) are headers used excessively and needlessly, scripts written improperly, and keywords used improperly.

W3C provides a free tool for you to evaluate your website for compliance under the W3C professional and ethical standards of website development and code: http://validator.w3.org/

Don't "click here" & Don't "contact us"

How often do you see a hyperlink on the words "click here" or a link to a contact page that says "contact us"? For the typical website developer, it is nearly second nature to link information on a page to another page on the words "click here", and to link to the contact page for the law firm, the agency, or the business on the words "contact us". When you review your website before publication, be sure to watch out for those links. (Why you should not do the "click here" and "contact us" link).
