W3C Validation
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international organization formed to develop web standards. Their goal is to lead the web to its full potential. Most web developers are, or should be, well versed in W3C standards. This allows their pages to be more widely usable by visitors with different web clients. There are also standards for web accessibility making pages usable for visitors with disabilities.
These standards can lead to quite a bit of confusion for starting developers trying to keep their sites compliant and fully functional. Luckily, there is a web tool which was released by the W3C to validate web pages. The tool can be found at http://validator.w3.org/. Upon running the validator a full report of the site will be displayed showing errors and warnings. It will then give the submitter suggestions on how to fix these problems to create a fully compliant page.
Is your page compliant?

Web Standards…
Hate them or love them, we need them so that updating, accessibility, & design aesthetics are all up to par with the users. Meaning that updating the website is much easier for the different designers and programmers doing development, users are able to access the website no matter what browser or operating system they are using, and making sure that the website looks and performs the way you want it to across all platforms.
In the long run, web standards will help build faster, more efficient websites that are accessible to everyone.
