To often these mistakes are made, and it some times it cannot be helped. However if we try to keep these in mind we have a better opportunity to create a cleaner and better designed world wide web.

A well designed and developed web site can give you the desired effect that you are looking for. I have personally redevloped many clients web sites that were developed previously in the web page boom when businesses wanted web sites but didn't care what they looked like or how they functioned.

On the flip side you could say that in a few years won't we be saying the same thing about table designs. Well you are write we already are, there is a big movement for web sites to use CSS positioning now for the creation of layouts and there is not doubt that soon after that there will be something new.

So all we can do is develop using the latest technologies that will ensure us the chance to have a web site that will stay current for a little while.
