WebStandardsAwards

“Although web standards give us a better, faster Internet, not many sites use them. The Web Standards Awards aims to promote web site design using W3C standards by seeking out and highlighting the finest standards-compliant sites on the Internet. By showing you standards-compliant sites that make your jaw drop, we hope to show you that web standards aren’t a constraint, they are a liberation.”

	Ideas for web-design.

	Stylegala is an online resource and inspiration guide for web agencies, designers and developers who take interest in websites that combine the powers of design, web standards and CSS. Web standards are recommendations set by the W3C as to how web sites should be constructed to work better for everyone. CSS is the acronym for Cascading Style Sheet and describes how a html document is displayed or printed. The basic idea of web standards and CSS is to separate content from presentation – an effective way of producing beautiful and functional websites for the internet..
