Which aspect of this site do you want to learn to replicate? The layout, the content management, the content itself?

**charliearchibal** · 11-13-2005, 01:54 PM

basically the full thing, I think it is very well done!
I really like the layout of it. How is that done?
and how is the content management put into place?

That layout is a very common one that can easily be mimmicked with a content management system like Xoops which can also manage the content for you, as the name suggests.

The graphics would have been created with some graphics editing program like Photoshop or The GIMP.

hey man i think this site was made using just tables. and he added cells
u can still see the borders, its real simpel to do a site like this...

yes you could do it with lots of tables and do the borders etc etc but it isnt the corect way but you can get some good effects and there isnt realy anything wrong with doing it

they havent used lots of tables they have used div tags

that website would be realy easy to make useing tables if you want i could do you a table layout for the template and you would have to add the imges etc etc lol unless you want to pay me and i would do the hole thing haha

but i can do the table layout for free

This particular site uses horrible web design. This should be done with the use of CSS and NOT a bunch of tables and borders. It should be noted that tables should only be used to display data and NOT be a design aspect for a web site.

My new sites all are CSS and work beautifully, even with all the workarounds that need to be done to show correctly in most browsers. Zelo.com... old school.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>First Names and What They Mean</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.zelo.com/firstnames/index.asp" tppabs="http://www.zelo.com/firstnames/index.asp">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<style><!--
-->
</style>
<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="none, default">
</head>
<body>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
</body>

Thats the only thing I got when visiting your site.

I'm not far into css yet, but I don't quite understand how you can replace the layout of tables using it. In fact I'm not even sure how you do using <div> tags. Is it considered better pracice to use this method before tables. I do say that I've noticed a lot of unpridicatability with tables and their size.
