Introduction

This site is not a "How To" on Web Standards, rather it is meant to be a resource giving examples, provide links, and food for thought. The Web Development Office at UW-Platteville has done many presentations on Web Standards. Therefore, this space is being used to post our notes, presentation materials, and even a few examples for others to explore.
