41 warnings. It’s ironic this landing page doesn’t pass W3C’s own HTML validator. https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fbeta.w3.org%2... Edit: corrected to stated “warnings”, not errors.
> Error: An img element which has an alt attribute whose value is the empty string must not have a role attribute.
The rest are info or warnings.
If the designer is reading this thread. My fellow human, please swap out the corporate memphis landing page image with something that's less overused in web design today.

Not only that, there's also the Islamic/Hadith ban of depicting any person, making this a particular bad idea (if the reduction to role models in a corporate memphis style graphic isn't dehumanizing enough in itself).

For people who don’t know, Corporate Memphis (aka Alegria, Homoglobo) is a style of illustrations that features extrahuman attributes, such as non proportional bodies and non-existing skin colors. It has been credited to Facebook, and was explicitly made to be modular (as in designers are replaceable). Obviously beauty is subjective, but to me this style has strong connotations of cynical corporations, eerie feelings…
In particular, huge bodies and tiny heads; it's the exact opposite of tiny bodies and huge heads, which also exists as a style, one that is rarer outside of Japan but definitely has an opposite connotation for me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chibi_(style)
Unlike most comments here, I think this is very well made!, its much better than the original site, easy to read, easy to understand and invitijg to learn more about W3C, rather than an old website telling to stay away. I think Debian should do the same, its much better now, but its no fedora website.
All the html and text really are in the page and not just requested later by some javascript application being executed. It's refreshing and looks a hell of a lot better than any JS sites do in my browser.
Information density. One thing I really dislike over the last 10+ years the web has brought is a huge reduction in information density. W3C old site was great at being dense on content/info. This site is not.

Back in the day there use to be a joke website called "every fucking bootstrap site" [1] where it would lambast the popular design zeitgeist of the time. I really wish websites would opt for more distinctive looks rather than the massive homogenization we see across the web. Everything looks the same when it doesn't have to. Things can be stylized while accounting for accessibility and usability. I don't know what to…
Do you have have any good examples of useful and visually interesting websites?

It should be to learn who they are and what else the website provides. You're not there to read it's entire homepage. You're there to navigate.
The pages that need to be dense, like the standards document, are.
