Web Design Standards
Web design from L.T. Creations, LLC. assures that industry standards have been followed. Often you will hear questions about whether standards exist. Clearly, as found at the Wold Wide Web Consortium, there are standards to which every Web site should comply. Many do not concern themselves with whether or not everybody can view your Web site pages as intended. However, by not complying to these standards, and not being concerned with them, viewers will either quickly leave a site where the pages are not rendered correctly or perhaps they won't even be able to access your Web site. If you're selling a product or information it's imperative standards be met or your traffic and sales will plummet.
If you notice at the bottom of many pages on the Internet, there are 2 icons. Each of these icons represents the fact that the page on which the icons are placed complies to the W3C standards. You'll find an icon for XHTML and CSS meaning that each page is compliant to the standards set forth for the code in the pages and the CSS that manipulates the pages. If you are in question as to whether or not L.T. Creations, LLC. complies, simply go here W3C Validator and validate any page within this Web site.

What if you don't follow these guidelines? What if you simply design and code the pages of a Web site without regard for the various browsers and computer operating systems? There are a number of browsers being used on the Internet nowadays and each has its own quirks as to how it reads the code in Web site pages. Writing for all of them is not easy. But the pages of L.T. Creations, LLC. look the same in each of the most popular browsers.
If you or the development company who worked on your project had total disregard for the standards, you could be looked over in the search engines, by-passed by prospective buyers, lose what rank or search engine results you had, and your profits from your Web site will decrease. Why take that chance? Comply with the standards and know that your Web site is viewable by the maximum number of people possible.
Will compliance guarantee that all people with any operating system or browser can view your pages as intended? No. Unfortunately, until the manufacturers of browsers and operating systems also adopt the standards of the W3C there will always be a small percentage of visitors that will not be able to view your pages as you intended - even with compliance to the standards.
