Template Website Design CSS V Table Design

Post by mikey » Fri Oct 10, 2014 9:49 am

Ok, after all these years , i still design with tables ;)

some people are die hard fans of CSS, it's current i understand, so i respect anything you say

call me a dinosaur, but i still do not see a benefit of pure CSS templates ?

the reason can't be site load speed ( most of the world no longer uses dialup ;)

this post is open for all.

IMHO, that's fine. Whoever does not like your templates (or those of others, for that matter) is free to use other templates. :)

The so-called CSS layouts offer more flexibility -- if that is needed, is another question. Other than that, there is the semantics argument ("tables are meant for tabular data"), but I usually refrain from joining this debate -- I have better ways to spent my time.

So, IMHO, basically there is nothing wrong with using tables for layout purposes.
