Webstandards

The Web Standards compliance button is for webmaster, web designers and developers who are interested in Web Standards (HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, XSLT etc.) and best practices (accessible sites using valid and semantically correct code). W3C along with other groups and standards bodies, has established technologies for creating and interpreting web-based content. These technologies, which we call Web Standards, are carefully designed to deliver the greatest benefits to the greatest number of web users while ensuring the long-term viability of any document published on the Web.

The W3C and other Logo provides the organization with its visual identity. As a result, there are strict rules for its use. Following are the Web Standards that are followed by LestOut. As a member, you can add the logo button to your website to show your comittment to Web Standards.
