Dear Bruce,
BRUCE ARNOLD is sending you

results and personal success. This is a complimentary publication. You can

According to a January 2005 survey of all web design firms with page
one placements on Google, MSN Search or Yahoo for the term web design
miami, only Pervasive Persuasion.com was found to have 100% W3C
standards compliant coding. The other 25 sites tested were found to have
as many as 171 errors on their home page alone! Should they be concerned?
Yes. Should you? YES. To find out why, please read on....
What W3C Standards Are 
The World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) was established in 1994 to lead the World Wide
Web to its full potential by developing standards and protocols that
promote its evolution while assuring interoperability. Validating
web page adherence to these standards and protocols insures that all
users--regardless of their culture, language, education, ability, material
resources, access devices or physical limitations--have equal access to
the resources of your website.

Why Validation is Important |
 |
 The importance of HTML and CSS
validation to winning web design is frequently overlooked, but
should not be underestimated:
Validating W3C standards compliance assures that your web pages
can be properly read and interpreted, regardless of what
standards-compliant user agent might be employed. These include
Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla Firefox, all other
graphical browsers, text-mode browsers, text-to-speech synthesizers,
site robots, language translators and search engine spiders.
The primary concern of every professional web designer should be
to produce a website that promotes the products and services of the
client to all potential customers. Web pages that can only be viewed
properly on select browsers will frustrate visitors and thereby
limit sales opportunities.

How To Test Compliance |
|
| Are your web pages W3C standards compliant? It's easy
enough to find out. Simply submit your web pages for validation
here:
http://validator.w3.org/
If your website employs CSS (cascading style sheets), and it
probably should, submit your style sheets for validation here:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

How To Get Compliant |
|
 If the W3C Validators (see links
above) find errors in your HTML or CSS, then it may be time to
consider redesigning your website. If that is the case, then your
next step might be to run some web pages from your web designer's
website through the validators. If you find errors there, then
it may be time to consider hiring a new web designer.
Beginning this month, Bruce
Arnold now offers W3C Standards Compliance for every web
page we design or re-design at no additional charge. Let
