There was a time on the Internet when websites wore badges of honor, declaring that their code was semantic and followed the W3C guidelines. The validators we used weren't great (and **still** aren't perfect) but they represented a community that took pride in caring about the quality of their work.

If you decide to use these badges, be sure to link these images to your valid passing URL ([html5.validator.nu](https://html5.validator.nu)). You can see an example of the link in the footer of this website.
Please feel free to reach out and share your websites / projects that pass as valid HTML and include an HTML valid badge. I'd love to check them out!
