  • Valid code will generally display better in different browsers than invalid code
  • Valid code helps to insure pages display the way they are meant to be seen
  • Browsers are becoming more standards compliant, and it is becoming increasingly important for websites to have Valid Standards Compliant HTML
  • Valid code helps to make your pages accessible to more people and more devices
