As an example, the HTML code being used behind the home page has been checked for consistency against the international standards authority W3C - www.w3c.org. There is one fault with the HTML coding. This is easy to fix and re-running the validation tool, once fixed, will allow you to use the W3C validated logo on your website which is a great accolade. See Appendix 2.
