World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards and accessibility guidelines
When designing new websites MidWinter actively endeavour to conform to the W3C website design standards: 'To lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing protocols and guidelines that ensure long-term growth for the Web.' All websites under our control are HTML or XHTML and CSS valid. Ensuring web pages display in both old and new web browsers.
Creating websites to standards aids search engines when reading their web page content and can help to improve search engine rankings.
