Web 2.0 means different things to different people, but to us it is the techniques we use to design and code websites enabling a more varied and richer internet experience for users.
There are many advantages of using CCS to format a web page even though the initial coding of a sites template can take longer than using old style tables because of the inconsistencies between different browsers. However once the first stage has been completed, maintaining and updating the site becomes much simpler.
In addition with the increasing use of mobile phones and PDAs as well as disability discrimination legislation, it is necessary for web content to be made accessible to users operating a wide variety of devices.
Tableless web design considerably improves web accessibility in this respect. Screen readers and braille devices have fewer problems with tableless designs because they follow a logical structure.
As a result of the separation of design (CSS) and structure (HTML), it is possible to provide different layouts for different devices, e.g. handhelds, mobile phones, etc as well as specifying a different style sheet for print, e.g. to hide or modify the appearance of advertisements or navigation elements.
RSS feeds make it possible for a user to subscribe to specific information channels which are updated regularly such as news in an automated manner that is easier than checking them manually.
This provides a value added service to your users who are then more likely to return to your website.
