CSS Web design
I now only build websites based on CSS. Instead of nesting tables within tables and filling empty cells with spacer GIFs, I use much simpler markup and CSS. This translates into enormously reduced code.
Using CSS design allows your pages to download more quickly, makes your website much easier to manage, and has numerous web usability, accessibility and search engine optimisation benefits. Basically, CSS design is a really good thing.
