Tables are used in almost every mainstream webpage out there.  Tables can help you organize, align, and arrange text and pictures in a way that make them line up perfectly with each other.   Because tables can have a border width, this means you can create tables with borders of 0, and hide the table while keeping their content visible and perfectly aligned. 

Check out our hints and tips about Putting it all on the table.

Using only 1 Template

Using more than one template can not only create a lot of confusion to viewers of your website, it can give your site a sloppy look.

WebMedley templates were designed to give your website a consistent theme and look that is intended to remain constant throughout your website.  If more than one template is used, visitors may think they have left your site, or may not understand how to navigate.

Each WebMedley template is different, which means the dynamic navigation could be located in any number of places.  If you choose different templates for different pages, the navigation will change and could be the cause of confusion to the visitor.  The key to websites is keeping the visitor there as long as possible.  The longer the visitor stays, the more they will learn about your organization.  Many sites out there which are difficult to navigate through could cause situations where the visitor will get frustrated and leave.  Read More about this and more at our Good habits, or our  Bad Habits pages.
