Differences using CSS Against Tables

The majority of websites that can be found in the net are built using "Tables" again an outdated method of building sites. The code equivalent against using CSS is awesome. Through our own experience(s) a site that uses tables for design layout and content presentation will always trail behind a site that uses standards conform CSS coding.
The amount of code that goes into presenting a website to the end user using tables is extensively time consuming and the amount of incorrect coding that goes on is immense. The majority of table based websites don't even use the tables as well as they could or should be. It is easy to build a site using tables but building a site that uses tables properly seems to be a hard task. Using accessible coding to create or build a site is easy, the tags are there to be used but the main stream designers dont seem to grasp the need for accessible websites.
Comparing the amount of (X)HTML code when using tables to CSS coded sites you will find that the ratio is way to high. The performance of a site that uses CSS is generally a lot better. lowering the amount of code in the documents increases download speeds and gives the end user a better impression.

Setting up the style sheet

Now that we have told the HTML file where to find the stylesheet we have to set out our default styling. All elements have default settings which are set by the individual browser style sheets.

Everyone who uses CSS have their own method of setting CSS defaults. The following method is a recognised method created by Eric Meyer.

To override the defaults we set up our stylesheet with the following CSS code:
Click for CSS Code
Open or Close Box
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td{
margin:0;
padding:0;
border:0;
outline:0;
font-weight:inherit;
font-style:inherit;
font-size:100%;
font-family:inherit;
vertical-align:baseline;
}

/* remember to define focus styles! */
:focus{
outline:0;
}

body{
line-height:1;
color: black;
background:white;
}

ol, ul{
list-style:none;
}

/* tables still need 'cellspacing="0"' in the markup */
table{
border-collapse:separate;
border-spacing:0;
}

caption, th, td{
text-align: left;
font-weight: normal;
}

blockquote:before, blockquote:after, q:before, q:after{
content: "";
}

blockquote, q{
quotes: "" "";
}

Freelance Web Design

A freelancer, freelance worker, or freelance is somebody who is self-employed and is not committed to a particular employer long term.

Fields where freelancing is common include; cosmetics, fragrances, journalism, book publishing, journal publishing and other forms of writing, editing, event planning, event management, copy editing, proofreading, indexing, copywriting, computer programming, web design and graphic design, website development, consulting, tour guiding, and translating.

Freelance practice varies greatly. Some require clients to sign written contracts, while others may perform work based on verbal agreements, perhaps enforceable through the very nature of the work. Some freelancers may provide written estimates of work and request deposits from clients.

Payment for freelance work also varies greatly. Freelancers may charge by the day, hour, or page or on a per-project basis. Instead of a flat rate or fee, some freelancers have adopted a value-based pricing method based on the perceived value of the results to the client. By custom, payment arrangements may be upfront, percentage upfront, or upon completion. For more complex projects, a contract may set a payment schedule based on milestones or outcomes.

In most professions involving creation of intellectual property, "freelance" and its derivative terms are often reserved for workers who create works on their own initiative, then look for someone to publish them. They typically keep the copyright to their works and sell the rights to publishers in time-limited contracts. In contrast, workers who are hired to create a work according to the publishers' or other customers' specifications are referred to as "independent contractors" and similar terms. They have no copyright to the works, which are written as works made for hire, a category of intellectual property defined in US copyright law — Section 101, Copyright Act of 1976 (USC 17 §101).
