What is w3c compliance?

Well w3c compliance (also known as web standards) are a list of guidelines publish by the w3c (world wide web consortium) with the intention of creating a best practice for web designers world wide.

Quite simply it is intended that if you write standards compliant code then you are creating websites the way they should be created, meaning a high quality finished product.

The w3c provide a "validator" that allows anyone to check whether a website produces valid code, on our site you'll see two links at the bottom of every page, one that say XHTML and another that says CSS.

By clicking these links you'll automatically be taken to the validator which will tell you whether that page is valid XHTML or CSS (and unless we've missed something every page should validate without problems).
