Web :
This article gives some practical hints on how to create standards-conforming websites, and to work around some of issues that will arise for Explorer for Windows.
Before you start coding you must make a few decisions—which DOCTYPE do you use? Do you use pure CSS, or CSS with Minimal Tables? We'll discuss these topics, and then go into some design guidelines and issues to consider with XHTML and CSS.

Doctypes :
By using a certain DOCTYPE (strict or transitional) you claim to have correctly implemented a certain (X)HTML flavor:
When you declare a DOCTYPE, validators take you at your word. When you validate your pages, they check your code against the syntax that you claim to follow. If the markup fails to meet the standard, it gives you error messages.

Page Layout :Most web site templates perform page layout by using a few blocks of content, for instance a header, a left column with the
navigation, a right column with the main content, and a footer.coding this page must start by roughly positioning these four
blocks of content. Style details can wait; first you should make sure that the content blocks are aligned correctly in all
browsers on all resolutions.

Pure CSS :Generally speaking it's difficult to obtain proper horizontal alignment in CSS. Horizontal alignment wholly depends on the floa tdeclaration, which, though supported by all modern browsers, is supported according to two different models, with minor variations even between browsers that support the same model.
CSS with Minimal Tables :Minimal tables are the perfect compromise. They allow you to use the advantages of both without bloating your code (much).Minimal table use means: use as little tables as possible. This minimal table does a fine job of roughly positioning the content blocks.
XHTML :The best way to start coding a new website is to make a rough sketch on paper. Draw the content blocks, make short notes on the XHTML and CSS you'll need and try to anticipate the problems you'll encounter. It's highly unlikely that you'll solve all, or even most, problems by this rough sketch, but creating it forces you to think logically and to define the rough outlines of your code. You'll also find that sketching helps you to remember your fundamental decisions and the reasons behind them better than just starting to write code.
Accessibility :When you've created and validated the entire XHTML file you should perform an accessibility check. Remove all style sheets
and JavaScript from the XHTML and carefully look at this unstyled page. Is the content ordered logically? Is the navigation
clear and usable?

Graphics :Use small (byte-wise) graphics so graphics load more quickly in graphics-capable browsers. (It is not advisable to use GIFs for everything. It's of the first importance to make the right choice between JPEG and a palette-based format. Avoid blindly
choosing GIF and then trying to rescue yourself from the resulting problems.

JavaScript :JavaScript suffers from less incompatibility issues than CSS. All modern browsers, including Explorer for Windows, support the ancient Level 0 DOM and the modern W3C DOM reliably. You should not use the two proprietary DOMs, Netscape's document.layers or Microsoft's document.
