The Need for Web Design Standards

Paul

Users expect Web site elements to behave in a certain way. Unfortunately, confusion reigns for many higher-level design issues. The entire concept of "Web design" is a misnomer. Individual project teams are not designing the Web any more than. Site designers build components of a whole, especially now that users are viewing the entirety of the Web as a single, integrated resource.
Search Engine Friendly Design

Site designers and SEO consultants are often called in at different times to work on a website. Rarely do the two work together, which is unfortunate. Many designers have seen their beautiful work destroyed by an SEO-focused redesign. Many SEO consultants have seen their clients' rankings plummet after a redesign.

You are already legally required to make your website reasonably accessible to all.

This is an obligation on both the client and the website designer.
