Club web-sites--updated; upgrades

[noodle]

tables are easier to work with, but bulky and won't render correctly in some places

css is tough to work with at first but gets easier, and allows modularization of your code (you can just change the CSS file and make it look 100% different, not having to touch the actual content)

Here is a rogue Web site I designed after I got tired of my univeristy club never updating it's own Web site.

www.space-cowboy.net/rogue/

I just have to say that I like this one. It appeals to my wacky side.

I'm in the process of overhauling our club's web site. This is the current site, as done by some one else
(Before): http://www.coastalcarolinafencing.com

This will be the new site, when finished
(After): http://billwoodward.linkbrokers.com/test/ccfa

not bad, very corporate
table based design though ...

True. We're in the process of re-doing our website, and although I keep it up-to-date I don't really know what I'm doing! The expert fella in charge says CSS is the way to go but I'm not so sure, as other people have said. What're the pros/cons of tables and CSS? - anyone?!

Thanks

P.S. Birchey - nice one, well done for saying arse and not donkey

cascading style sheets are designed to allow visual placement. useing tables to so the arranging is a pervision of what it's supposed to be used for. as such some of the things tables do are not fully documented and can cause irregularites in how the page displays in different browsers. use css it was designed to over come the tables issue

i used yabb briefly, but phpboard is also pretty good. depends on what you have to work with.

yea, I don't like the Salle Mauro page that much either, but Mauro's one of those guys that likes to look professional and up to date.

Nuts.

I must be blind. I totally missed this thread when I posted a new thread on this subject. Sorry. Anyway, here's a site that I think is pretty good:

We did a PHPBB2 install for our site.

Works pretty well for us.

And noodle, in case you missed it, I'm a web designer NOT a graphic designer. I do the cool backend stuff, not the artsy front end stuff. *grin*

AND, just so I can tweak your CSS positioned nose a bit, CSS won't render properly in older browsers and has some compatability issues so NYAH! Tables uber alles!

Here's the website for my club : http://www.cuttingedgefencing.com. I must admit, webdesigner is significantly down the list of my skills and available time, although, I've gotten a fair number of leads from it in just the couple of months its been up.

I keep hoping I'll get a student with a parent who is a professional web designer or something!

Our club site: http://iwfc.net/ (I know, CSS is on my 'things to figure out later in all that spare time I don't have' list. ) I'm obviously not a designer of any sort. I'm just trying to keep info out there, updated, and easy for people to find. Feedback's appreciated!
