You may be asking yourself why we feel this is so important. It's quite simple, really. When you program HTML for a webpage, you have to follow the programming standards. Think of it in terms of communicating with other people. If you do not speak their language, they won't be able to understand you. Do you know who I'm referencing as the "other people"? They're search engines and internet browsers. Anyone can type random numbers and letters into a web editor. It takes a highly skilled professional to program it correctly, so that your website HTML programming is grammatically correct, so to speak.

Why is this so important? Let's start with browsers. The layout of your site depends soley on the code holding it up. All browsers have to follow a distinct set of rules so that the browser can properly display the layout, except of course if you're Internet Explorer, where you make up your own rules. Please click here to download Firefox - a much more secure and all-around better browser. Sorry, back on track. As I was saying, the HTML programming on your site has to follow rules, much like we do with spoken languages. Without a set of rules, the layout would be chaos on different browsers. The same goes for search engines such as Google. If they cannot properly communicate with your site, they'll flat out skip it. Having a valid HTML site is very important in communicating with both your users and search engines.

To perform a HTML test of any site on the internet, please visit the w3 validator. The w3 is an organization who determines the rules and guidelines.
