    I am totally new at css layout design and was wondering if you guys can give me your input on weather I should attempt developing this site http://www.jesterlabs.com/images/site4.jpg in css given that I don't have much experience at all at it...or stick with my table layout skills. Any feedback or ideas on how to go about it, would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    The design is clean and simple enough, so you should be able to make it work either way. This requires a basic understanding of floats, which can make the job seem a bit troublesome at first.

    Making a quick mockup is a good way to start and it will also lead to more specific questions. I could also make a basic template file for you to start working on.

    Thanks a lot for getting back to me. Yes I guess what i need is a jump start. I have been reading a lot about css based sites and I find it a big learning curve from what I am used (tables), but it seems the way to do it now. So trying to figure out how to do it exactly like the mock up I designed it's a struggle for me, drop down and side nav functionality for the sub pages (http://www.jesterlabs.com/images/site4-2.jpg) etc...

    Thanks again.

    The navigation is basically just a styled unordered list. You might want to borrow the drop down from here: http://htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/
