Wow, a nice looking suite on usability. Who’d a thunk it. Great find Nate.

James, I agree about the design of the guuui site, has a clean sharp look that I like. Now if only they provided it without all the tables used for layout. I was about to give some credit to boxes & arrows, when I checked and found that they are also using tables for non-tabular data. I’m not at all refering the content value at either site, which seems superb in both cases, but rather I’m just nitpicking about the choices made in constructing the interface code. I’m not getting why these sites aren’t tableless, one would think they have a good reason...

Probably the usual reasons. IE, preserving basic layout in ns 4 If your used to doing work in tables, its faster to do. CSS is still a pain in the butt for certain things. I like CSS design but when I re-did my site using it, it was a nightmare to deal with. The learning curve, the browser differences. You still have to be very careful about what css you do and don’t use. Not everyone is ready for the move yet. I am considering switching back to tables for another year or so. Zeldman.com even uses tables.
