Markup validation ensures the code behind your pages is clean and valid. Think of markup validation as spell check. The cleaner the code is the more willing search engines are to accept your site. Validating your website ensure the most accurate code for a clean site.

Many web designers underestimate the importance of a properly validated website. The benefits far surpass the small amount of work it takes to accomplish it. Every website can and should be validated as it provides better usability to your users, aides cross browser compatibility, and ensures better chances of being properly seen and apprecaited by search engines.

By adhereing to XHTML and CSS standards your website has a great chance of functioning properly in all types of browsers. It greatly cuts down on inconsistencies that are browser specific. IE for example has many IE specific features that simply aren’t able to be validated, aren’t browser compatible, and only add to the demise of your web page. It is very important to have your site reachable not only by search eninges but by users using every sort of operating system and with every sort of browser. Ensuring your website validates is the first and most important step in accomplishing this.
