To evaluate or measure a reference point against other things in terms of excellence there are several standards which are followed at social, political, economic, religious and technical ground.
So, to make internet an improved position, for both designers and customers, it is essential that both follow the Web standards. “Web standards are a general term for the formal standards and other technical specifications that define and describe aspects of the World Wide Web”.
When a web site or web page is described as complying with web standards, it usually means that the site or page has valid XHTML/HTML/CSS and java script, greater visibility in web searches and semantically correct code.
