Webdesign with HTML4 implementation is still currently

Webdesign and HTML4.0

Until recently HTML4.0 has been the standard for web sites. This standard will be gradually replaced by XHTML. Nevertheless HTML4.0 is still widespread. Even for new sites, it is still used.

What is the reason to use the old standards instead of new technologies? Quite simply, for cost reasons.

It is more complex and expensive to realize a project in XHTML as, for example, in HTML4.0

Another reason is, for example, that each browser displays the site content in different ways. This must be taken into account. Many modules in the CMS and extensions must  be adjusted, since the output is still formatted in HTML.

Information about web design implementation with HTML4

Not every browser is compatible for XHTML. Some of them cannot display those sites correctly. So you need additional tests. Of course, this causes more work. Even this work is limited, it means more costs for customers.

In addition, you must still take into account, that not all CMS / online stores already operate under new standards and deliver the websites in HTML4.

Although there is a lot of advantages, like modern designs, it is sometimes useful to create the page in HTML 4.
