Tableless CSS Sites: Middlebury College

By Max Kiesler

middlebury.jpgThe most recent redesign of the Middlebury College external website deserves mention for its new tableless CSS markup and 508 compliancy. The new site has a decidedly more marketing-oriented and friendly design.

Don't miss reloading the the home page a few times to see the rotating student profiles which link to full pages about the student. I also liked the reverse tab flips - very interesting! Areas for improvment would be the site's compliancey — at the time of this reveiw the CSS and XHTML were not W3C compliant. Additionally, the home page is using tables which are not labeled and are not being used for tabular data. Overall, the redesign works and represents several steps in the right direction.
