Most website owners rely heavily on the skills of their web designer to make sure that their website is running at the highest level possible. Along with this, the owner of the website also has to put their trust in the designer that the designer is not missing any important steps in the design process. This does not have to be the case anymore.

There is a Web Standards checklist that you can use to make sure that your website is set up in a manner that will allow it to maximize your benefits of having the site. Using this list will allow you to check off what you have and what you do not have. If you find something that is missing in the checklist, you can present it to your designer to fix the issue. If your designer can’t take care of the issue, you might want to think about getting different services somewhere else.

Here are the categories in the checklist:

1) Quality of code for horse and equine websites

This allows you to take a look at different parts of your site to make sure that there is nothing that is preventing different people from seeing your website as you see it. Not all web browsers get along, and if the code is not set up to meet all the needs of different browsers, you might not be happy with what others are seeing.

2) Degree of seperation between content and presentation for horse and equine websites

I believe the title explains most of this section.

3) Accessibility for users at horse and equine websites

Having your site set up for every person is crucial in the success that your website brings you. This part of the checklist will help you to make sure that all visitors to your website will have no problems while visiting your site.

4) Accessibility for devises at horse and equine websites

Making sure that your website can be accessed by anyone and everyone is important. This part of the checklist will check to make sure that people on different browsers can all see your website just as you want them to. It also checks to make sure your site looks right when it is printed, and if need be, check to see if the content on your site looks right on a hand held devise. There are a couple other checks that are included in this section.

5) Basic Usability of a horse and/or equine website

Basic usability is used to check that all of the site is easily navigated and that visitors will have no problem getting around your website.

6) Site management of a horse and/or equine website

Site management refers to the proper use of a 404 error page, friendly URL’s, favicon, and more.
