<p>As mentioned in my previous post, <a title="View the post Push Forward" href="http://dougbarned.co.uk/blog/2009/01/07/push-forward/" target="_blank">Push Forward</a>, I have the opportunity to make some vast improvements to the structure and coding of a new website that my employers are launching. Unfortunately, I&#8217;ve been instructed to complete the site as it is first, and worry about this stuff later &#8211; mainly due (I think) to the people in charge&#8217;s lack of understanding surrounding the advantages of designing and building to web standards.</p>
<p>I have therefore been scouring the Internet for ammunition to backup my argument when the time comes to put my case forward. There are a lot of useful articles out there, but for my purpose, this short presentation from <a title="Visit the standards article at boagworld.com" href="http://www.boagworld.com/standards/" target="_blank">boagworld.com</a> sums it up excellently:</p>
<p><span id="more-194"></span></p>
<p id="flash" class="flash"><script src="http://www.boagworld.com/player/swfobject.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript">// < ![CDATA[
 		var s1 = new SWFObject("http://www.boagworld.com/player/mediaplayer.swf","mediaplayer","407","305","8"); 		s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true"); 		s1.addVariable("width","407"); 		s1.addVariable("height","305"); 		s1.addVariable("file","http://boagworld.com/downloads/BenefitsOfStandards.flv"); 		s1.write("flash");
// ]]&gt;</script></p>
