I have just started developing a new UK based web site (
http://www.driveology.com ). I've never used a
CMS before but due to the size and nature of the project, PostNuke seems like the ideal solution (user groups and permissions/less bulky than PHPNuke etc.)
One thing I have noticed, however, is that the majority of the themes seem to make heavy use of tables for layout etc. Due to the size of my project, big, bloated web pages are something I want to avoid, and so I am looking to build a theme using
CSS and DIVs (as per W3C standards).
How easy is this to implement? I know that I can break out of
PHP and into
HTML when necessary, but is it possible to just swap
tags for ones (obviously with all the style references from an external
CSS file).
Has anyone done this before and does anyone know of a base theme that I could use as a reference?
