Web Site SEO

I am not a programmer and I would like to outsource the creation of a website. How can I verify that the source code is inline with industry standards and best coding practices. Basically, how can I test or validate that the work done is of great quality (ie scalability, SEO, CDN independent, Database architectural integrity,etc) ?

Are there software available to download or do I need to contract some one to review the code? I have heard of a program called "style cop" for c# development. Is there one for php? Would such a tool be sufficient for my needs? Thanks

W3C has several validators available that scans through the source file(s) and validate whether there’s errors, breaking the standards, etc.

Check out this for their markup/HTML validator: http://validator.w3.org/
And then for more validators: http://www.w3.org/QA/Tools/
