RE: [WSG] Web dev or design certificates

yes, validation sometimes might return "unserious" errors - if one tag is not closed, for example, then the rest will not validate and instead of 1 there will be 21 and etc. I didn't see anything Really horrible on the site to be instantly turned away from it.

 

But I also suspect that in case of the larger company web-site - it's not only the designers' fault, but of those who eventually "maintain" the site and "contribute" to the site.  So the site can become really ugly.  I myself work in an  insurance company  and currently "struggle" for standardization (pretty much on my own :(  ), and know that when you work with a lot of people, it CAN get really complex.  And who knows - maybe they use some kind of CMS, which will make things even worse, like in our case.

 

Besides, my boss recommended this certification to me... but I don't know.  Tell me if there is anything else, besides Adobe.

8 HTML Errors
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ciwcertified.com%2F

CSS is not valid
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile="">

imho, validation by itself does not mean much. The validator could return 8 errors when in fact there are only a couple and these mistakes could be due to poor maintenance.

What bothers me more is the *quality* of the markup, in term of semantics for example.

 

As a side note, I don't care if the styles sheets validate or not as long as they do not contain errors (I'm thinking of zoom:1 vs. colour:#000).
