How to Determine if a Website is Valid
A valid website is a website that uses valid HTML or XHTML code according to the W3C, or World Wide Web Consortium. The W3C promotes web standards, universal sets of programming guidelines designed to improve web usability and minimize badly constructed code. Luckily, the W3C runs a validation service that allows you to instantly check to see if any website is valid.
