Reduced bandwidth and web hosting cost

While affordable high-bandwidth technology is becoming a reality for some Web users, by far the majority of the world's users is limited to low-bandwidth connections because of geographical isolation, underdeveloped communications infrastructure, or economic limitation or may still be limited to low-bandwidth applications because of the technology they have chosen to use such as mobile phones and PDAs.

The normal web page with tabular layouts place all presentation information inside each HTML, which is then called up and downloaded for every page on the site. Browsers read through tables twice before displaying their contents, once to work out their structure and once to determine their content.

Our web pages tend to have much smaller file sizes than those webpages using tabular layouts. Smaller file sizes obviously mean reduced bandwidth costs, which for high traffic sites can mean enormous savings and there will be reductions of 75%-80% in file size after switching from normal tabular design to standard compliant design tableless design. The main reason for this massive decrease in file size is that we completely separate the presentation from content. The presentational style sheet is called up once when the homepage loads up and then stored on to the user's computer. The subsequent web pages will download very quickly because of this.

Additionally, we use CSS to replace JavaScript image rollovers, again allowing a large reduction in overall page size. Our clear and consistent navigation is a major benefit to users who have to utilize low bandwidth and wait for each page to load.

Saving 30K to 40K from each page view - plus a stored stylesheet that never needs to be downloaded again - can save you many dollars per month!
