DIV Website Designing

<div> tag based websites renders on your browser much faster as they are lighter in weight. The traditional <table> based sites with its nested <table> are bigger in file size because of the amount of lines of extra code to create the desired layouts. <div> tags however, are controlled through CSS and therefore require less code and keeps file sizes to a minimum.

Website designed using CSS is SEO (Search Engine Optimization) friendly as designer can keep the main article more on top enable search engine to find your main content easily. As with <table> based design construction needs to be followed.

Website designed using <div> tags have smaller files size this means saving on your bandwidth. Imagine a high traffic website, whereby every page browsed by visitors you save small amount on bandwidth. This small amount of bandwidth saved could be significant at the end of a month or over a period of time.

Website designed using CSS and <div> tags produces cleaner code and forces designer/developer to write one too. Having a cleaner code allows search engine crawlers all the more easier to read real content from your website.

Websites designed using <div> are easier to maintain as layout are controlled from a single file. Making change on a single file will reflect changes on all pages of website where that particular CSS has been used. Whereas in <table> based design you may have to make changes on all pages. For eg. let say you have a banner advertisement on all pages with certain height and width, and you wish to change this banner size then you will have to individually modify dimension (height and width) of your <table> on all the pages to reflect your new banner size.
