So you may be asking "what are tables and why does removing them from my website help?" Glad you asked! Tables have mistakenly been used for many years by designers to piece a site's graphic layout back together, similar to a jigsaw puzzle. Many website designers (ourselves included at one time) built their website layouts in a graphic program like Photoshop™ and then sliced them up into smaller graphics using a program like Adobe's Image Ready™. Theses sliced images are then pieced back together using html tables to create a visually seamless layout. This practice has been the rage for many many years and creates bandwidth hog that also breaks every principle of web design standards, hinders your website's search engine rankings and creates accessibility nightmares for many of your users.

First and foremost, removing tables from the website can dramatically improve your search engine rankings, improve your current Pagerank dramtically with no other work required. The concept is simple, the less un-indexable code the search engine's spider has to crawl through to get to your readable (and indexable) content the higher your content to code percentage comes up. It is well known that most search engines set limits on how long a spider is allowed to spend reading a given page. If the spider reaches that limit before it is able to completely read your content your rankings will suffer.

The second but no less important effect of this table removal is a savings in bandwidth of up to 75%. We all know bandwidth is expensive and the larger your website grows the higher your hosting fees or bandwidth fees get. Storage space is also reduced on your server as file sizes can be reduced by the same amount. Along with these bandwidth and storage savings your user will see drastically faster page load times, allowing them faster access to your information and products. Removing tables from non-tabular data will also allow those with disabilities and image disabled browsers a more meaningful experience with your website and as more and more non computer devices are able to access websites your site will be ready to go on them!

Last, but no least is the fact that since your website is no longer driven by table layouts that require massive amounts of development, editing and redesign time your company can literally save thousands of dollars a year in SEO & Web Marketing to acheive the desired results and rankings. A tableless CSS driven websites allow complete control over every aspect of your site's look and feel from a single style sheet. Don't like the text color?
