The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) describes itself as follows:
The World Wide Web Consortium exists to realize the full potential of the Web.
The W3C is an industry consortium which seeks to promote standards for the evolution ofthe Web and interoperability between WWW products by producing specifications andreference software. Although W3C is funded by industrial members, it is vendor-neutral,and its products are freely available to all.
The Consortium is international; jointly hosted by the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science in theUnited States and in Europe by INRIA who provide both local support and performing core development. The W3C was initially established in collaboration with CERN, where the Web originated, and with support from DARPA and the European Commission.
Creating websites with W3C compliant markup has numerous benefits, primarily making your site more search engine friendly as well as guaranteeing that your site will load in all browsers. All of the websites we build (with the exception of flash websites, or sites with flash elements) are W3C compliant.
