Drawbacks of the table-based layout
 

Using tables for layout for the whole page or just for a part of it such as header, footer, menus has some drawbacks:

 

- it increases the page code and makes the page load slower

- it is not good for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and lowers the website`s ranking  and position in search engine results

- it decreases accessibility - users with disabilities and viewers using cell phones and PDAs may not be able to access the site

 

 This problems can be avoided by using CSS...
