<li>To make internet a better place, for both developers and visitors, it is important that both browsers and Web developers follow the Web standards. When developers follow the Web standards, the development is simplified, since it is easier for a developer to understand another's coding. Using Web standards will ensure that all browsers will display your Web site properly, without time-consuming rewrites. Web pages that conforms to the standard are easier for search engines to access and index, easier to convert to other formats, and easier to access with program code (like JavaScript and the DOM).</li>

<li class="fragment"><strong>References</strong>: Talk to people who have worked with the developer before. Were they prompt? Pleasant? Forthright?</li>
<li class="fragment"><strong>Requirements</strong>: Can they do the work that needs to be done. Ask for samples of their prior work and ask exactly which parts of the process they were responsible for. Design? UX? DB architecture? QA?</li>
<li class="fragment"><strong>Reality</strong>: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. This website will be a reflection of you, either personally or professionally. Hire someone you feel will be invested in a job well done.</li>
