The web standards are general guidelines which give professional developers a technical framework on how to use different elements on a web page. Abiding to the standards provides a greater acceptability of your web pages on standard compliant web browsers, which are becoming the norms worldwide.
The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) is the regulating body of web standards and as stipulated on its website, its aim is to lead the Web to its full potential and WAI (Web Accessibility Initiative) was developed to make the WWW accessible to all. While building websites, we put in all our effort to ensure that we meet a maximum level of compliance to the guidelines.
