Why? Make it so Everyone Can Read It?
Why not? Would you design a brick & mortar store, where there wouldn't be adequate walking space for someone using a walker or a wheelchair? Would you tell a potential customer who was blind that "I'm sorry, I don't want you shopping here."? Of course you wouldn't!
The web is a different medium, but why would you want to discriminate against your potential customers and site visitors because they don't use the exact same software you do? In a day and age, where there are thousands (or more) platform & browser configurations, it would be difficult to test every single one. Yet, good design that is in accordance with W3C recommendations, will typically work across most browsers and most web-surfing platforms. By knowing which browsers are non-compliant with these standards, designers are able to (in many cases) develop a viable work around for the troublesome browsers.
Using these guidelines, your web site can be designed to make your site content more flexible for print, so your visitors can take your information with them.
