The mission of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is to lead the Web to its full potential by creating technical standards and guidelines to ensure that the Web remains open, accessible, and interoperable for everyone around the globe.
W3C’s well-known standards, HTML and CSS, are the foundational technologies upon which websites are built. W3C works on ensuring that all foundational Web technologies meet the needs of civil society in areas such as accessibility, internationalization, security, and privacy.
W3C also provides the standards that undergird the infrastructure for modern businesses leveraging the Web, in areas such as entertainment, communications, digital publishing, and financial services. This work is created in the open, provided for free, and under the groundbreaking W3C Patent Policy.
