CNT Supports Web Standards

What are web standards?

Web standards are the underlying technologies that make the web possible. These technologies include:

  • (X)HTML, for document structure
  • CSS, for presentation
  • DOM, for scripting

Why does CNT care about web standards?

Standards-compliant web development can mean smaller downloads (because web designers don’t need complex table-based layout code and positioning graphics), faster development and maintenance cycles for programmers and designers (because the content and the presentation markups are separate, which leads to cleaner, more comprehensible code), and greater accessibility (for screen readers that process code for users with disabilities, standards-compliancy ensures accurate translation from visual presentation to other media).
