Why should non-profits care about web standards and web accessibility?

Lower costs and more traffic

Pages built using web standards tend to be smaller and they tend to load quicker. This leads to the first and most obvious saving - lower bandwidth costs.

What is not so obvious, however, is that faster loading pages can also generate additional traffic and revenue. For example, when Multimap.com redesigned their site using web standards they estimated they saved 40,000 Gb of bandwidth per year - but they also found that their advertising revenues increased. The quicker loading pages encouraged people to spend more time on the site. continue reading this article about web standards.
