Some web standards are set to make the web accessable to people with disabilities. The use of ALT tags helps the visually impaired to view the site through hearing. Web standards also refer to the quality of the code. For example the Doctype, Character set, Valid (X)HTML, or Valid CSS. characteristics of Web pages with web standards are ones in which use alt tags, sufficient color brightness/ contrasts. Site also need to include a site map. Site maps can help in navigation of the site or to help someone understand the layout of the site and be able to find things a lot easier. Another way some one can use web standards is to have a site that is easily view from any size of screen, or any media source without losing its integrity. Another web standard is a user-friendly URL. Have you ever tried to go to a company’s website and not be able to type it correctly because it is to long or has a crazy spelling. I have and it is frustrating to say the least maybe that could be why it is a web standard? Another standard that is good to follow is the use of a favicon with the invention of tabs for browsers this one is important. I know when I am busy and have so many tabs open in my browser it is easier to look for a picture rather than look for a word.
