1. Websites load faster
div tag based websites renders on your browser much faster as they are lighter in weight. The traditional table based sites with its nested table are bigger in file size because of the amount of lines of extra code to create the desired layouts. div tags however, are controlled through CSS and therefore require less code and keeps file sizes to a minimum.
2. Search Engine friendly
Website designed using CSS is SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) friendly as designer can keep the main article more on top enabling search engine to find your main content easily. As with table based design structure needs to be followed.
3. Save bandwidth
Website designed using div tags have smaller files size this means saving on your bandwidth. Imagine a high traffic website, whereby every page browsed by visitors you save small amount on bandwidth. This small amount of bandwidth saved could be significant at the end of a month or over a period of time.
4. Cleaner code
website designed using CSS and div tags produces cleaner code and forces designer/developer to write one too. Having a cleaner code allows search engine crawlers all the more easier to read actual content from your website.
5. Easier to maintain
websites designed using div are easier to maintain as layout are controlled from a single file. Making modification on a single file will reflect changes on all pages of website where that particular CSS has been used. Whereas in table based design you may have to make changes on all pages. For eg. let say you have a banner advertisement on all pages with certain height and width, and you wish to change this banner size then you will have to individually modify dimension (height and width) of your table on all the pages to reflect your new banner size.

Why CSS is good for Google by Jyoti Jain Web Designer delhi India
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used to separate the stylistic elements of a page such as layout, colour and fonts from the content of the page such as paragraphs and images. We call this Separation of Content from Presentation.
If you don't understand CSS at all then you may decide not to use it for your site. However I would suggest that the advantages to be gained from using CSS, not just for Google, are well worth the time invested in learning it.
So why is CSS good for Google?
* CSS allows for smaller file sizes
* CSS allows you greater control of page structure
* CSS allows you to hide certain content from browsers while it still gets picked up by Google
CSS allows for smaller file sizes
By taking styles out of the HTML page and putting it into a standalone (imported) style sheet (.css file), you can reduce the overall amount of code in your web pages. Pages with less code have smaller file sizes and Google prefers pages with smaller file sizes (many other search engines do too).
Though Google doesn't offer specific advice on this matter, the search engine optimisation community is generally agreed that 100KB is a good upper limit for page sizes.
CSS allows you greater control of page structure
CSS allows you to structure your document according to HTML standards without comprimising the look-and-feel of the page.
Google rewards pages that are well structured, though many designers choose to ignore standards and guidelines as much as possible, because they (incorrectly) believe standards lead to bland pages. Using CSS, designers can create attractive pages with much flair, while adhering to the findability design principles identified in the book (yes you'll have to buy it to get more!).
CSS allows you to hide content from browsers while it still gets picked up by Google
Using CSS you can hide content from certain browsers in certain situations. For example you may have some content that you only want to appear in print, or you may want certain content to only be shown on screen and not in print (such as page navigation). The advantage is that Google will still index all of the content and you will still get the benefit that content brings.
Browser Compatibility
If you are new to CSS, be aware that different browsers still interpret CSS standards in different ways, while some (very) old browsers don't read CSS at all. Ensure that your CSS is as cross-browser compatible as possible, and that your HTML pages look acceptable even without CSS.

NEGOTIATION SKILLS By Jyoti Jain Web Designer Delhi, India
DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT AT WORK?
If you find yourself cleaning out your desk and starting a new job every nine months to a year, the problem is you — not your boss or colleagues. You got hired because the boss thought you could do the job. But competence alone isn't enough to succeed. Be passionate about your work and take pride in it. Tossing things together at the last minute won't cut it.
Leisure: Many young employees speak about having fun at work. There's always an element of humour in a good office. Keep a thorough personality and like a good corporate citizen, remember that you work to make money for the company, not to have fun on the days between weekends.
Attitude: When you are in a doubt behave traditionally. Traditional values are still held in high esteem by most employers. Go out of your way to help people.
Protocol: Get a hang of all the internal meetings. Are they formal or informal? Is it acceptable to do other work on a laptop and occasionally check your cell phone for text messages, or would that drives the boss nuts? Have a checklist of each and every element that could matter.
Be straight forward: No one's perfect, and if you make a mistake immediately take full responsibility for it. Don't rebuke others, and certainly don't try to marsh it off on your immediate boss. Saying, "I'm sorry, my mistake. It won't happen again" will help you put all but hanging wrongdoings behind you.
Know what your role is: No one wants a whine or a yes-man, but if you fail to understand the corporate culture and if you don't know what's expected of you, you're gone. It's possible to fit in without squashing your creativity. Remember whom you work for and why.
Money isn't all: Don't create an impression that you're working just for a paycheck. Those are the hallmark of a clock-puncher and are likely to kill all chances for an appraisal. If you're extremely unsatisfied with your job that you live for the 15th and 30th of each month then it's time to start sending out résumés.
Maintain an image: Don't talk continuously about your life outside work. If you're having trouble in your personal life, keep it to one or two confidants. No one else at work needs to know — or more to the point wants to know — about your travails at home. Remember: There is no way that broadcasting your personal difficulties will improve your standing with the boss.
All The Best

Web Design Tips - Useful Tips for Effective Web Design by Jyoti Jain
Neat and Easy Navigation: Navigation of links on your site plays a big role in determining the stickiness of your site (how long your visitor stays and explores your site). Ask yourself this, What do visitors do as soon as they open your site? They would probably read the content of the present page and then look around to find any other page that interests them.
Clean Layout Design: A clean layout that uses a lot of white space enhances a site's looks. Try to keep the focus on your content, use a template for this. Use fonts that will be available on all computers to prevent your site looking messed up.
Optimum Load Time: Make sure your load time is low.
Minimize Graphics, Flash and scripts: They hugely increase your file size.
Optimize your HTML & script code: Make sure that your site doesn't have any unwanted tags or unused scripts.Use Server Side Include (SSI) files where ever possible. SSI files once called from the web server reside in its cache so on subsequent requests they load faster.
Design for all Screen Resolutions: A site that is easy-to-use always encourages visitors to stay and read your content. For site with long pages of content this is very crucial as the amount of scrolling required is reduced. Suppose your site doesn't look good for a particular resolution it is very probable that the visitor will close the browser window feeling that the web page is not for their viewing. Designing stretch layouts that fit any screen resolution ensures that you know all your visitors see a visually appealing and professional site.
Ensure Web site scalability: Make sure your code and design is scalable. As technology advances and configuration of computers & their monitors keep increasing and varying it is impossible to test your site in all screen sizes and platforms.
Cross Browser Compatible: Make sure you check your site for Internet Explorer 5+, Mozilla Firefox 1.0, Opera 7.0 and Netscape Navigator 6+ as they constitute 95% of the worlds browsers.

Quality of Life - Jyoti Jain Web Designer Delhi India
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.
Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money, and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Some times, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it. Don't let the cups drive you... Enjoy the coffee instead"
