Peta Website

So I guess Peta is using tables for layout on their websites:

Seriously, it is 2011, what is wrong with them?

They have more important things to worry about!

Their main site is sort of correct!

Seriously, tables means they won't get in search engines correctly nor is their site very accessible for visually impaired users.

I had no idea tables were so lame. Then again, I stopped studying web design around 2002. :-(

Even in 2002 they weren't the way to do things! However, I am mostly just shocked that a new website was written with tables like that. I am not even sure I could write one anymore!

While animal cruelty is horrible, I agree with Bertine. In the information age and in the realm of the internet, organized and searchable information is crucial. If people do not find what they want in less than 3-5 seconds, they lose interest and go other places. Yes, the site will still have its die hard PETA patrons, but they would get more support from casual surfers if they organized their site better.

The other layouts used animals in testing.

There's all KINDS of things wrong with PETA. Tables are seriously not really high on the list.

I know, I just went to the site with firebug open and was SHOCKED

I should make a site about this but I don't care enough.
