Valid Markup to W3C Standards
At Whitlawburn Community Resource Centre we take validation seriously. Many of the pages on our website validate to web standards, there is still some to fix but rest assured we are working hard to make sure our website markup code is valid.
Having valid markup code on our webpages means our site is more accessible. Assistive technology such as screen readers will be able to represent data more accurately because we validate our code. Validation also improves the structure of the pages. This benefits people with cognitive disabilities as it helps them quickly understand the way content is displayed.
Validation is also a sign of professionalism. You can be sure that our website was built with the utmost care and attention by a seasoned professional to give our users the best possible experience.
