Web Standards

What are Standards?

Here at Pageworks we build sites to web standards so that they are accessible to more people and more types of Internet devices. Sites developed by Pageworks will continue to function correctly as traditional desktop browsers evolve, and as new Internet devices come to market.

Web StandardsThe World Wide Web Consortium (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.
