Beyond Web Standards

Filed under Evangelization, Management, News and Events

I’m often asked how one can convince their employer to adopt Web standards, and unfortunately there isn’t a short or simple answer. That, in part, is why I created the Circle of Standards (both the process and the Web site). I also give presentations on this very topic, including one I’ll be doing today at the online <head> global web conference.

My slides are available for download and if there are questions that don’t get addressed sufficiently in the session, you can post them here.
