in my experience i have found that conforming to standards has lengthened project development but not extensively. it has not impacted negativley on what i could achieve.
and just because it lengthens a project cycle doesnt not make it a negative thing. if it takes longer to do something right then so be it.
but the rewards i have gained from it out weigh the lengthened time.
you wouldnt accept driving across a bridge that didnt conform to safety standards would you?
clients will start to demand thier sites be inclusive and standard compliant.
thoughts
---------having a site that conforms to standards will be more future proof.
standard compliant sites are nicer on search engines.
standard compliant sites are lighter.
standard compliant sites will become mandatory for any big institution, prof company, public body or govt site over time. (this is already the case in the uk with govt tenders)
standard compliant sites will become the norm in the future.
standards compliance will become part of web2.0
standard compliance makes your site adhear to a world wide principle of recognized proficient code; a standard.
standards are used throughout society as a bench mark and as a measure of quality . this is why it is important to follow standards.
