Simple: YES or NO question

Hey all,
Just looking for an opinion from people.

The site i am talking about is

http://www.ozresort.com.au/

I would love to find out if people think i should redo everything that is in the define_main_page.php into DIVs and CSS instead of table how it is now.

I don't know what works better with Zen cart so thought i would ask before going ahead with it

No.

If you were building from scratch, you certainly shouldn't do it with tables, but the benefits of pulling established code to rebuild it with a different layout approach wouldn't justify the effort.

As an aside, layouts using DIVs and CSS rather than tables don't work better with Zen Cart specifically, they work better with the whole Internet. Once you're familiar with the concepts they're quicker to build, easier to maintain, pages load faster, have the potential to rank a smidgen higher in search engines and are more accessible to people using assistive browsers or devices.

Cheers mate, i definitely agree about CSS being better than Tables. I have been using it over tables for as long as i can remember, but thanks for the honesty though, i was worried a lot of people might just say redo it for the sake of CSS being better rather than this specific situation.

What do other people think?

No reason to do so, the benefit just won justify the cost & effort. But if you want to then at least do a new design as well.

Also, remove this from your site <head>
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-XXXXXX-X";
urchinTracker();
</script>
