Story: ZDNet.co.uk wins Best Business Website award

Much appreciated

Just a quick note to give you some feedback from the HTML team here.

You’re right that the website has a lot of validation errors and the developers here note that this is an area that’s important to them. They are always working to make sure the site code is compliant and meets accessibility guidelines. They have a couple of challenges in this, though: ZDNet.co.uk is very dynamic, being frequently refreshed with new ads, news stories and so on. That means that it is an ongoing job to maintain standards compliant code on the site. Another complication is that code is sometimes added by nondevelopers—in blog postings, for example.

They appreciate any help ZDNet members can give them, so please send any specific examples or problems to them via me at Community.Manager@zdnet.co.uk.
