How To Make A Good Website
A checklist for Web standards
The term web standards can mean different things to different people. For some, the "table-free sites," for others "with a valid code. However, web standards are much broader than that. A website built to the standards must adhere to standards (HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, XSLT, DOM, MathML, SVG, etc) and implement best practices (valid code, access code, semantically correct code, easy to use, etc. URL).
In other words, a site built to web standards should ideally be lean, clean, CSS-based, accessible, usable and search engine friendly.
About List
This is not an uber-list. There are certainly many things that can be added. More importantly, it should not be considered a list of items to consider at each site that you develop. It is simply a guide that can be used:
* To show the breadth of web standards
* As a convenient tool for site developers during the production phase
* As an aid to developers who are interested in going to web standards

1.2 The character set of the site?
If a user agent (eg a browser) is unable to detect the character encoding used in a Web document, the user may be presented with unreadable text. This information is particularly important for those maintaining and extending a multilingual site, but declaring the character encoding of the document is important for anyone producing XHTML / HTML or CSS.
