Default Re: Tableless website

Here are a few more advantages to tableless layouts:

Semantic content
Search engines can't read everything in tables and it becomes even worse if you have many nested tables, where most table layouts will become nested too deeply.

Tableless layouts will arrange all of your content in a nice semantic fashion that the search engines can read much easier.

Shorter Production Time
Tableless layouts can be modified on the fly, not like tables where you'll have to edit multiple places on each page

Read Jeffrey Zeldman's "Designing with Web Standards" for every possible reason about why you need to begin developing this way immediately. It will make your life easier.

Start small with hybrid layouts and work your way up.
