Highly customizable for expert users. Editor and validators are customizable. Excellent technical support. Validates within the editor. Has a batch mode that generates validation information, explanations, and ways to fix code that can be shared with other developers. Intuitive interface. Stays current with published standards. Can clean up code. > > **Cons**: It would be nice to have a code completion feature similar to Visual Studio or Notepad++. > > I started with the free version in the late 1990s and upgraded to the Pro version later on when I taught Web design regularly. I continue to recommend it to my students when I find out they are doing any kind of webpage development. I use it to batch validate student websites. I share the generated reports with their grading rubric so they not only know what they did wrong, but how to fix it. ----- ### "An indispensable tool for production and learning environments" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *30 June 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: In the mid-1990s, I found CSE HTML Validator’s tight integration of syntax checking with an HTML editor very effective, and its recommendations for fixes and best practices were very much like having a mentor. In the following years, CSE HTML Validator evolved into CSS HTML Validator, and its syntax checking and mentoring stayed up-to-date with evolving standards for web development. Throughout this period, I continued to rely on it because of the enormous convenience of its integration of syntax checking with editing HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. Some syntax checkers require code to be uploaded to an online service, but CSS HTML Validator’s syntax checking is purely local. That means code is kept private, and syntax checking is fast. While the Standard edition is targeted to working with individual web pages, the Professional and Enterprise editions include a batch processor for monitoring and maintaining entire websites. Using the batch processor, I am able to subject a website to an exhaustive analysis, including syntax checking, validation of links, and recommendations for best practices. It can also check WCAG and Section 508 accessibility requirements. CSS HTML Validator may be a Windows application, but I have found that it executes flawlessly on Linux machines using Wine, which enabled me to continue relying on it when I switched from Windows to Linux. A complete technical evaluation of CSS HTML Validator is available on the WineHQ Wine Application Database. > > **Cons**: Because CSS HTML Validator lacks a builtin FTP client, it cannot directly upload web pages to a web site. > > Based on more than two decades using CSS HTML Validator under Windows and, more recently, under Linux, I recommend it highly, not only to anyone learning web development, but also to experienced developers who pride themselves on clean, standard-compliant code, or whose code is subject to the accessibility requirements of WCAG and Section 508, or who need advanced capabilities for website monitoring. A test run of CSS HTML Validator is possible by taking advantage of the free trial offer. ----- ### "Great for webmasters" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 July 2019* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think this software is great. The pro version is the best because it analyzing the entire website and not just individual pages. I’ve used google webmaster tools but I prefer CSS HTML Validator because it really fine tunes the code mistakes i typical mess up on. There’s no builtin FTP client, Which is a bummer but overall it still allows me to clean up errors and make my code on the sites load faster across windows and Linux. > > **Cons**: Besides no FTP, I havnt had any cons about the software. ----- ### "A must-have for web developers" — 5.0/5 > **Thomas** | *30 May 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The CSS HTML Validator provides a better analysis of HTML than what is provided by the W3C: the Validator provides clear and detailed information not only of the cause of what problems it discovers, but helpful suggestions on how to solve those problems. It then goes beyond that to provide suggestions on what might be done to strengthen the HTML beyond a mere validation fix, including information on accessibility, cross-browser compatibility, and the like. There's also the added bonus of an online forum where questions may be posted, and the author of the software has always been quick to respond to queries, and he has been equally open to suggestions of new features (e.g., when I've discovered quirks of HTML composition that result from the use of certain JavaScript frameworks, the author has worked to ensure that the Validator responds to those quirks with appropriate validations and suggestions for usage). I recommend the Validator highly to everyone who wants to ensure that their HTML and CSS are rock-solid, and therefore a strong foundation for their application and its use. > > **Cons**: If I could choose the default sound that is issued at the end of validation (a triumphant "ta-da\!" when everything checks out, a single low "beep" when there's a problem), I'd probably want that. But the program is so highly configurable that there's probably a setting for changing those sounds that I haven't investigated yet. :-) > > It's helped me write robust HTML and CSS, and it's helped me learn the reason why certain things should be structured in the way that allows validation. ----- ### "The best HTML and CSS validator, and yes you need one even if you use a content management system" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *23 February 2019* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Does a complete validation of your web page, checking for essentially all possible errors. If you want the best look and functionality of your site's pages, the code has to be correct. Sure...browsers are more forgiving these days, but why take a chance? What's more, by having coding errors exposed, you learn how to design the pages better\! > > **Cons**: In some rare cases, the Validator can get too picky. e.g. For MailChimp e-mailing software, certain aspects of generated inline CSS coding are technically wrong, and will actually not render if corrected to the Validator's standards. Note that this is not a problem with the Validator, but with MailChimp. This sort of thing can also occur in WordPress. Thus, the user must be aware of those rare instances when being absolutely correct can be a problem. > > Has helped immensely in Webpage design--especially before the era of content management systems. Remember, if someone doesn't like the looks of your site, he will switch off in three seconds. Also useful when doing bulk e-mails, using such programs as Atomic Mail Sender. This stuff has to look perfect to even have a chance of being read. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2048506/css-html-validator?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2048506/css-html-validator) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
