do you simply mean getting the little badges on the site with 'w3c' and
a checkmark? to say that the code validates?

that's relatively easy.

links to page/site checking tools here:

if you're talking about accessibility, and getting the AAA compliant
pass, that can be a little more tricky - but running pages through
something like Bobby will help with that:

not sure it would, when it's just as easy to submit to the validation
services above. they'll soon tell you what you've gotta fix / work
around!
