Definitely better, although not necessarily easier - especially if it is your first attempt on CSS layouts, to start from scratch. You have what looks like a 2 column solution with header and footer throughout the site, which normally is one of the simplest to structure for CSS layout. Easy to add into and expand on. Plan site-structure early, so you know at which ends your site will grow in the future. A site-map may come handy, and in many cases having one or more site- and/or section-maps will make life easier both for you and your visitors than having complex menus on every page. Example: <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/toc_7a.html> Before starting, the following sites provide good information... <http://www.opera.com/company/education/curriculum/> <http://reference.sitepoint.com/> ...which will help keeping you on track towards a good solution. While planning a new design/structure: more important than switching to CSS based layouts would be to avoid losing information on the HTML level, like this... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/notes/dws.png> Information usually comes through best if it is presented as "plain text" on all levels... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_24.html> ...and "visually decorated" to go with your ideas for the right look/feel on screens - design. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
