When you are having a website designed for you, there are two sorts of companies that can design one for you; an IT company, or a creative design company.
Creative design companies are doing very well, and it's not surprising, they are producing some fantastic looking websites. They come out with really impressive designs with rich functionality and it looks liek the future is already here when you see what they can produce for you.
But what about IT companies?
What's the point of going to an IT company for a website? A website is like a brochure, isn't it? It just needs to look good and impress the visitors, doesn't it?
There is a big movement in the web design community promoting the adoption of CSS positioning instead of using tables for layout.
Unfortunately, the big argument in favour of it tends to be "it's newer therefore it's better".
Hokey!
That doesn't wash with me. There are countless times when a new IT technology has been proven to be inferior to an older technology. The "newness" of a technology means nothing.
