If every browser on market would 100% comply to the standards set by the World Wide Web Community, the web-designers and developers would have to write only one single version of HTML and CSS code for all the browsers. But because of the great variety of browsers on market and because every browser complies differently to the standards, the developer must search for a way to make his code work on every browser.

If you are a web designer or front-end developer, you are probably familiar with how different browsers or user agents displays your code in their own way.

For those who are unfamiliar with what validating a web page (ie validating your HTML or CSS code) means, it basically refers to using a program or an online service to check that the web page that you created is free of errors.
