I own a business that develops websites, I teach courses about Web development at Washington University in St. Louis & Webster University, & I talk about Web development on this website. In all three areas, I stress the importance of Web standards. This website, therefore, should conform to Web standards & should look good in any modern browser that also supports Web standards. If it doesn’t, let me know.
