Does it cost more to design a site using Web Standards?
No, in fact it can cost less, both in the short-term and the long term. For example, changing a design using the old-fashioned way of creating Web sites can be extremely time-consuming and involve changing thousands of lines of code in hundreds or even thousands of files. A similar change on a standards-compliant site may take only a few minutes and involve changing a couple of words in one file.
