Hi, I want to know, what is the best way to make a web site?
~ Pure HTML / Tables
~ CSS and HTML
~ Slice in Photoshop
~ Other and please specify.
Add in as much details as possible. What do you think is the best way?
Answer:
CSS is the best way to do it. That's the web-standards way.
Tables are designed purely for showing tabular data. They should not be used for layout.
If you need a book to help you I cannot recommend enough "Designing With Web Standards" by Jeffery Zeldman (http://zeldman.com/dwws/).
CSS is for appearance. HTML is for semantic data (meaningful things). JavaScript is for behaviour.
They should all be separate. That way you can read the HTML even when you don't have support for CSS (like on a Mobile phone).

Depends what you are trying to achieve. Sounds like you're going for something static ……. in which case I would have to say css and html. Check out http://www.csszengarden.com to see the sorts of effects you can achieve.

Answer:
css/html.
CSS creates easy and thorough design that can be easily changed if you want to tweak something about the layout without having to go through and change every .html file within your site. It's much easier to just have one file control the layout, and then your html control the content. Less work for you in the long run. Lots of people believe tables = inferior designing as well. I agree that divs give you more versatility, but I'm not at all anti table in most circumstances.
