No. No, you don't need to be an HTML or CSS expert. You only need to have a basic understanding of HTML and/or CSS, or be wanting to learn HTML and CSS. If you're a student, then CSS HTML Validator is an excellent program to use for learning HTML.
CSS HTML Validator would not be for you if you have no knowledge of HTML/CSS and you don't want to learn. If you do want to learn, then we strongly recommend learning with CSS HTML Validator. If at first you find yourself overwhelmed with all the messages that HTML Validator generates, then don't worry, you'll quickly catch on after a few hours of use. We think you'll quickly find CSS HTML Validator a valuable learning tool.
CSS HTML Validator for Microsoft Windows (formerly named CSE HTML Validator) is a powerful, easy to use, user configurable, and all-in-one HTML and CSS checker that also includes an SEO (search engine optimization) checker, link checker, spell checker, accessibility checker, and built-in editor.
Simply open an HTML or CSS document with CSS HTML Validator and validate it by pressing F6. Easy to understand syntax errors, warning and other messages will appear below the source of your document. Simply click on one of these messages and you will be taken to the place in your document where the problem is. Fix the problem with the integrated editor, check the document again using F6 (to make sure that the problem is fixed), and then save it when you're finished.
The Batch Wizard, included in the Pro edition, lets you check/validate multiple files and/or URLs and will generate a neatly formatted HTML report with the results. The Batch Wizard can follow links to check an entire small to medium sized web site or part of a large one. It also includes a spell checker and link checker.
If you think you're creating clean HTML and CSS then you'll probably be surprised at what CSS HTML Validator will find in your documents. CSS HTML Validator is an indispensable tool for any web developer or webmaster.

Benefits Of Using CSS HTML Validator
- CSS HTML Validator helps you produce top quality websites. Remember, if a visitor has a problem with your website, then the next site is only a click away. If you have a business website, then CSS HTML Validator is a no-brainer; you'll quickly find it indispensable (and your customers will appreciate it too).
- Are you wondering why your site is doing poorly on the search engines? Bad HTML may be the cause. Search engines may encounter great difficulty crawling, indexing, and extracting the content of a website that contains severely broken HTML. CSS HTML Validator will help you avoid bad HTML that can harm your position on search engines.
- Using CSS HTML Validator to produce a quality website can build customer loyalty, improve brand equity, protect your corporate image, and increase revenue.
- Requiring HTML developers to check their HTML with CSS HTML Validator before publishing or submitting it to a site will promote quality and save time and money. It will also greatly reduce the chance that a document has to be sent back to the developer for repair.
- Even when using a WYSIWYG editor, don't assume that it knows how to write good clean HTML! Most of these programs generate very poor (and bloated) HTML and CSS. When using a WYSIWYG editor, be sure to check the documents that it generates before publishing them on the web. You may be surprised at some of the nonsensical things these programs will do. Don't take chances.
- Save hours of time. The more HTML you write, the more time you will save. Don't waste time manually looking for problems, figuring out why your HTML doesn't display like it should, or using online checkers. Get CSS HTML Validator and check HTML and CSS fast. Remember: Time is money. Wouldn't you rather be doing something more productive than manually checking all those tags, attributes, properties, links, and more?
- Prevent problems before they happen. You won't have to wait until one of your visitors tells you about it. How many people are leaving your website because it's not displaying properly on their screen or not compatible with their web browser? Too many if you aren't using CSS HTML Validator.
- Are you learning HTML? CSS HTML Validator offers you helpful advice and points out mistakes. It's like having your own personal tutor.
- Are you a computer or Internet consultant? Use CSS HTML Validator to show your clients how poor their website is and increase your business by helping them fix their website!
- Your HTML writing standards will be superior to the many HTML developers who don't use tools to check their web documents for problems.
- Protect your reputation: If anyone looks at your HTML, then you'll have much more confidence in what they see. They'll know that you know what you're doing and that you care about giving a good impression with your website.
- Do you still think that you don't need it? Do you think that you have a program that generates clean HTML? Give CSS HTML Validator a try for free. We bet you'll be surprised!
CSS HTML Validator also includes some bonus tools that change HTML tags and attribute names to uppercase or lowercase, a tool that strips HTML tags, a tool that converts different operating system text file formats to other text file formats, and a tool that lets you use templates in your documents.
