Web Standards

Web Standards are the body of recommendations that the [[W3C]] has agreed best facilitate the storage and presentation of data across numerous devices on the world wide web. One is not required to abide by the rules in these recommendations but it is generally agreed that sufficient time and expertise has gone into developing them and by creating a basis for conventions. Software developers can build useful applications or websites with the expectation that most users following the same body of standards will be able to use the software or content properly.
