A Western Web Design website:

Why is it important that your site
be standards compliant?

A website designed using web standards based on a CSS layout
will provide improved accessibility to all browsers. It will look wonderful on modern browsers but will still be useable on the older browsers many people still use.

It will also be available to computer users with disabilities, will be fast to load and will be more structurally sound. While broadband is becoming increasingly popular, this is still not available everywhere and many people are still using dial-up connections. Fast-loading pages are essential.
