This is all well and good, but the real question is should your business or loans website switch to a web standards based design? What possible business benefits of setting up a standards compliant design are?

The most significant problem with getting a web standards based design is that it might be difficult to find a web designer who will be able to prepare a both attractive and webs standards compliant business website. Many skilled web designers will not be eager to create you a financial website which is web standards compliant because of the amount of time involved in such work and the usual lack of appreciation from the client for doing so.

The slow, but inevitable conversion to standards compliant web designs is partially caused by the simplicity in which a non-standards based business site can be created. With the increasing popularity of ‘what you see is what you get’ (WYSIWYG) site creation tools like Dreamweaver it is now quite easy for a skilled graphic artists to make a professional looking website with very little code knowledge required in the process. While your mortgage or real estate website would look great, its construction can leave a lot to be desired. Insufficient page coding, although not always visible directly on the page, can cost your business a lot of money as well as make your site inaccessible to a wide audience, cause problems with navigation and difficulties with maintenance.
