Right, so my Church wants a website. That's cool. Problem being, there's myself and a lad who runs this website both putting in different inputs.
He uses something called SiteSell.com (which coincidentally care so little about their site they've built it in tables and inline scripts) to build the website above.
Anyway, I'm going a little off topic.
I need to somehow let the guy know that not only is his site aesthetically crap (I've told him that), it's code wise crap (told him that) but why exactly he should care that it's made in tables and looks ghastly.
I've said that it'll be inaccessible to those with screen readers, to which he replied that hardly any are blind implying that he's pretty much just ignoring them.
What I'm looking for from you is something, an article maybe, whatever you think relevant, to show him and say this is why you shouldn't build sites with them / this is why you shouldn't use tables etc.
Secondarily speaking, he's redesigning his current site (first link at the top) to a new template he has bought for $48, just like this one.
That really peeved me off, not only am I a mate and just round the corner, but he'd rather buy a crap template that looks crap and is made in tables than pay a reasonable fee to me to support my business. Peeved.
The main question above in bold stands though.
EDIT: Lasses, don't take offence
