Tableless Design: The Search Engine's Best Friend

Posted By Steven Beaney

The use of tables within HTML has spawned a generation of websites bloated with layers of tables within tables. As a result, bandwidth is wasted downloading tangled text, time is wasted waiting for sites to load and search engines are easily confused. This is why the creation of CSS (cascading style sheet) and more importantly, tableless design, has been so revolutionary to the realm of website structure and design. Now, developers are able to structure (HTML) their websites and design (CSS) using much less text than before.

Here at Zunch, we fully understand the implementations and benefits of tableless design. First and foremost, we use tableless design to aid our clients with a search engine friendly layout. Since this style of web development uses much less text, search engines are able to process the websites much faster, optimizing the detectability of the website. Less text also means less room for error and easier w3c development.

Contact our award-winning design team and let Zunch design a tableless website for your business!
