    I like to think along the lines of money when talking about CSS vs Tables.

    Why would a client chose a company who create their site in CSS over a company who create their website in tables?

    If you can express the value of different code in monetary terms then you probably will make a much better argument than say: "tables are cool, you're an idiot" or "css is awesome because it... is".

    eg. Argument to client: "Your website, is currently made using tables, we think that we can help your site achieve better sales targets just by helping it load faster. because X% of people will leave if it doesn't load within four seconds and your site takes X amount of time to load. We estimate with a rebuild you will save X amount of time and probably increase your sales by $X."

    What thinks ye?
