It is important to follow recommended guidelines on web standards for various reasons...

1. To ensure cross-browser compatibility.
Your website should render correctly in all standards-compliant web-browsers.

2. To improve accessibility for people with disabilities.
The British Disability Discrimination Act makes it unlawful to discriminate against a disabled person by refusing to provide any service provided to members of the public - including websites.
