Web Standards & CSS: Web Design Power Tools
Adherence to web standards boosts web site traffic by improving search engine results and enhancing web accessibility, while minimizing legal liability -- the chance of being successfully sued for failing to provide access as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The most empowering web standard is the recommendation to separate web site presentation and design elements from web content. This requires designers and developers to stop using old-fashioned, table-based presentation and convert to the powerful method of presentation programming called CSS, an acronym derived from Cascading Style Sheets.
If you are interviewing web designers and developers, one of the most important questions to ask is whether they intend to program your site with tables or CSS.
Search Engines Prefer CSS Developers
CSS is the most efficient and search-engine-friendly method to program web page layout. Some web developers have embraced CSS, while others have been reluctant to adopt this search-engine-preferred but difficult-to-master programming tool for web design.
CSS Web Sites Squash Competition
Hiring a CSS Web Developer or designer is a powerful means of improving search engine rankings for a business website in a competitive market. Since many web sites are still programmed with the older, less efficient table-based method, developing your new site with CSS or converting an existing site to CSS can improve positioning in the search engine results pages, increasing web traffic and positively impacting your web site objectives, thus improving return on investment (ROI).
