Web Page Engineering, Essential Guidelines, January 4, 2000
This standard provides essential guidance to those developing web sites or creating tools for developing web sites. It deals with the entire life cycle process from requirements and design though maintenance. And it touches on issues that will improve customer satisfaction, reduce maintainers costs, and reduce legal risks.Topics covered include: Date inclusion for maintaining, indexing (date of next update, expiration date, etc.) Including the need for 4+ year digits. Accessibility for those with disabilities, a legal requirement for some web applications, and an improvement for most. Design for target customer environments, and ease of use. Indexing with metadata, reducing download times, and simplifying the user experience. International considerations in a context where the WORLD in WWW is too often forgotten. This also has legal implications. This book is an essential reference for webmasters, web development organizations, and CIO's who are planning on using the web for significant internal or external applications. The standard defines 'conformance' for web sites and for web page generation tools. It applies to static, or dynamic pages. From a web user's perspective, the more sites that incorporate these guidelines the easier it will be to navigate the web to locate the right information at the right time.
