That is a good definition. As an ex-website designer, I hate the new formats with their bloated flow and flashy appearance while the content is everywhere. Give me some tables and preloaded image sizes so the page loads fast and stops jumping all over the place.
And they all look the same. Maybe because everyone just grabs the same template and there aren’t any out there actually trying new looks.
As a current web developer I’m with you except for the tables. I hate tables with a burning, fiery passion.
I do like responsive design to account for mobile, tablet, and desktop so I try to blend that with classic “just works / just here for the data” layouts and generally minimize the flash in favor of the content. In other words, my projects go to a lot of work to look that simple lol.
I know, divs are better, and I did use them once they came about. But tables were what you used back in the beginning, had to.
I appreciate responsive design, there’s some brilliant things out there. And I got out just as the whole smart phone thing started, and THAT was a nightmare that made the browser wars simple by comparison.
I remember tables, if you made the webpages in Publisher it would be tables all the way. I tought it was quite the thing back then, I guess 20-25 years ago?
