Use the W3C Validator to validate your html code
The W3C is the World Wide Web Consortium. They set worldwide standards and guidelines for internet technologies. One of their automated services is to check HTML code on pages for faults.
To validate your html code: Copy the address of the page you want to validate from the address bar in your browser, and paste it onto the address field of the validator. Be sure to check your web designer's own site before signing that contract.
Note: Your page must start with a doctype for the validator to work. The first line of your code should read: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> (or similar).
The logo above shows that this site has been tested using the W3C HTML Validator and was found to comply with the international standard for XHTML 1.0 (Strict) coding. This will make this site compatible with past, current, and future browsers, and demonstrates that VORD Web Design takes the W3C standards seriously.
