Chapter 9. Creating a Standards-Compliant eZ publish Site

In this case study chapter, we will look at the design and development of an XHTML and CSS-compliant eZ publish site. The intention of this case study is not to be an in-depth exploration of standards-based design, but to show the thought process behind designing and building such a site, and how the technology we use influences this process.

We will begin with an overview of web standards and the benefits they offer to web developers and the end users of the site, and then move on to discuss the specifics of the case study.
