All of our designs use the latest CSS standards and are table free. By using various CSS techniques and not using tables in the development process, allows your site to load faster, much faster and saves you valuable bandwidth.
Remember, visitors to your site will not stay or come back if your pages take forever to load. That's a large chunk of potential customers that you just lost, and for what reason? Good designs are nice to have, but it's also very important to have fast loading pages as well.
In 2003 ESPN.com (now http://espn.go.com/) redesigned their home page from a table based page to a CSS based page and the savings for them were astounding. Yes, this technology has been around awhile, kind of makes you wonder why other developers are still doing it the old way huh?
Their home page was reduced by approximately 50KB and with an average of 40,000 views per day, they were saving 2 terabytes/day, 61 terabytes/month, and 730 terabytes/year. Wow, just imagine how much faster the page opens in a browser after removing all tables and going with a strict CSS webpage design! And yes, they are still using pure CSS instead of tables to this day.
Basically the only time you'll see tables within any of the websites we create, is when a client specifically requests a particular template for one of the many free open source Content Management Systems that are out there, such as Mambo, Joomla, or Drupal. Sometimes the templates that are picked out may contain older coding practices and may have table structures within the code, or the Content Management System itself may be utilizing tables within it's engine.
If you are interested in installing one of these or any other free Open Source Content Management system for your website, please don't hesitate tocontact us for a FREE consultationon how we can help you with the installation and setup.
