Featured in W3C Sites

Yes. It is true. minusfive | Life. Design. Min­i­mal­ism. has been fea­tured in W3CSites. Yes! Fea­tured! As in: ‘show­cased in the front page’! What, you don’t believe me? Check it out by your­self! [Link] See!… Well, if you didn’t see it, then, their site was prob­a­bly updated already with new sites which were show­cased and mine prob­a­bly went to some ‘archives’ page or some­thing; but I promise! It used to be there!.. Oh well, at least I had my 15 min­utes of fame ;)

W3CSites is a col­lec­tion of web sites cre­ated by design­ers that con­form with the W3C stan­dards. Once again, here’s a link to their site: [Link]

The W3C (World Wide Web Con­sor­tium), is, as they put it, an inter­na­tional con­sor­tium where Mem­ber orga­ni­za­tions, a full-time staff, and the pub­lic work together to develop Web stan­dards. W3C’s mis­sion is: To lead the World Wide Web to its full poten­tial by devel­op­ing pro­to­cols and guide­lines that ensure long-term growth for the Web. There’s also a quote in their about page that I think adds to the pre­vi­ous expla­na­tion: “W3C Mem­bers work together to design Web tech­nolo­gies that build upon its uni­ver­sal­ity, giv­ing the world the power to enhance com­mu­ni­ca­tion and com­merce for any­one, any­where, any­time and using any device.” –Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Direc­tor and inven­tor of the World Wide Web [From W3C’s about page]. Among its more than 400 mem­bers are: Adobe Sys­tems, Amer­ica Online, Apple Com­put­ers, AT&T, Google, Mozilla Foun­da­tion and Microsoft Cor­po­ra­tion to name a few.
