Do you check your html, xhtml and css through w3c validation checker ?
Do you think that it is important that designs are 100% valid ? |

I check occasionally but not religiously. I do not think that it helps SEO much, but I do think that it serves you. Making a standard compliant html cleans up your html and makes it easier to maintain.

No it really does not help SEO. It makes html clean I agree but come on if you make target="_blank" .... then you cannot validate your xhtml design. That is stupid, but most rules are

You can put this in an external css code. After that, you can just replace target="_blank" with rel="external".

I always code to be valid. The first time I did it as a challenge and ever since it's been reflexive. I advise it to everyone because valid sites are usually cross-browser compatible (except for IE because IE just sucks with CSS).

Yes too many hacks ... and if you want your beautiful site to work with IE validation is not 100%

You can make it work, but you often need to find a workaround and approach html coding a little differently.

| I put a site through a validator once and never returned after seeing all the errors. I've got too much to do without worrying about that right now. Very sloppy I know but I'll worry about it if it becomes an issue. What are the major concerns with not completely compliant code? |

The site doesn't look consist in different browsers and OSs.

No. I don't care about this and nor do my clients. I make unique layouts and make sure the sites look very good and function as they should in mozilla firefox and IE. Validating the code is not something I pay too much attention. I don't have the time for this
