WEB STANDARDS OVERVIEW
I believe the Internet should be a level playing field for everybody, whether that person be a student in a developing nation
, a hobbyist, or a hip new tech startup. One thing we can do to make sure this happens is by following standards for
our development.
WEB STANDARDS AND ACCESSIBILITY
SEMANTIC MARKUP
Semantic markup is markup that is descriptive enough to allow us and the machines we program to recognize that markup and do
something with it. HTML is a structural language and using its sematic tags gives that structure some meaning.
SECTION-508 ACCESSIBILITY
Section-508 compliance is a piece of legislation in the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
It simply means that all users, regardless of disability status, can access technology.
It is a way to break down barriers and provide new opportunities for all Internet users.
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
SEO or Search Engine Optimization is the process of improving the visibility of a website on organic Search Engine Result Pages
(SERPs) by incorporating search engine friendly elements into a website.
