Web designers must pay close attention to Web standards. What is a Web standard? Why is having a Web standard important? What are some of the difficulties involved with using and sticking to Web standards?
What will be an ideal response?
Standards are powerful because they inform Web browser developers and programmers of the rules they need to follow in order to develop and display Web pages properly.
When Web standards are applied properly by browser developers, it doesn't matter if the person viewing the Web page is running a Macintosh or a Windows machine or even a Linux workstation. The reason HTML Web pages can be viewed by people all over the world on different platforms is that everyone must stick to the same standards.
Some of the difficulties in adhering to Web standards include (student answers will vary):
- Constantly having to adapt to and learn a new set of rules
- New standards are published every few years, which is much slower than the rate of change and innovation on the Web and within browser technology
- After a standards change, all existing Web pages will have been written using an older standard and will not be up-to-date
- It is difficult to enforce the standards
- The standards, like any set of rules, limit what a Web designer is able to do
