W3Consortium is a international standard for web coding such as html and css. We should follow the coding instructions as per their standards. That is only w3c validation.

World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is a validator that allows Internet users to check HTML and XHTML documents for well-formed markup.

Hi Melissa Feeney,

W3C validation stands for World Wide Web Consortium.It's functionality is to check the validity of Web documents like HTML, XHTML etc. However, in layman terms we can say that it's the process of checking a Web document against Document Type Definition.

Website that are W3C have better friendliness and accessibility,easy to edit and maintain.Also it's important to use W3C conventions as much as possible and ensures that website work on other browsers like FireFox, Chrome, IE etc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks !
