Web Standards refers to a method of website development established and recommended in recent years by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). There are distinct advantages to creating a website using Web Standards. They simplify and reduce the cost of production and maintenance, while delivering sites that are faster, accessible to more people and are capable of functioning on such Internet devices such as PDA's, mobile phones and other media.
