Validation why bother?
Code validation helps eliminate problems so there is a better chance of the website being viewed by all on the Net as intended.
What is CSS validation?
For colour, text, and layout, HTML uses a styling language called CSS, short for "Cascading Style Sheets". CSS validation checks your pages appear as intended.
Pages look good?
Your website can be shown in any of 46 different browser. Only strict validation can ensure it is shown as you originally intended.
Professional copy writing
A key part of the website mix frequently forgotten and often neglected. How to avoid this trap.
