Why tables for layout is stupid: problems defined, solutions offered There are certain things that CSS does not do as well as table layouts. For instance, say you have a black side nav bar that you want to extend the whole height of your content. With a table layout, this is a piece of cake: just give that <td> a black background. We can do this with CSS, but it requires a different way of thinking. If we give our nav div a black background, the black will only extend until the nav 'runs out'. Instead we could tile a black GIF in our content div and give this div enough left padding, but if our navigation is longer than our content, this won't work either. Another way to tackle it is to tile the black GIF on the background of our <body>, which is fine unless you want to use another image for the background of your <body>. Or, we can wrap our content in a 'wrapper' div and tile the image in that div. And, of course tiling background images won't work at all if you want the width of your navigation to be fluid.

The Anatomy of a Perfect Landing Page Placement and Content 7. Keep It Above the Fold The space a visitor sees without having to scroll is where the most important parts of the webpage should be. Place the call-to-action button above the fold and in a location where the viewer's eye will scan to. Never have the button or form in a place where it has to be searched for. 8. Optimize a landing page for conversion over time. 9. Implementing motivational speeches, videos of user testimonials, and product images into a home page can have a positive impact on viewers, as well as give shoppers an extra push to look further into a product.

But it almost never happens. The PR agency ignores us. Every now and then, though it all falls into place, and you get a fantastic demonstration of just how much butt a company can kick if they get everyone working together. So I’m going to brag. The plot Last week one of our clients, Full Circle, launched their service in Boise, Idaho. We get rolling Full Circle and their PR agency, Brotherton Strategies, put together a press release.
