    Hi again!

    After viewing some layouts on a site building website, I’ve decided to spice up my layout a bit with a few different areas in my website’s body instead of just one big white spot. I aim to make it look something like this:

    And then different on every page, according to the page’s theme.

    However, I don’t know where to get started with this. Would I need to just make five different divs with their respective titles or make a table with two columns to put place the divs in? Or would I do something completely different? I’m totally clueless. xD

    Firstly….don’t use an actual table.

    I know it’s very tempting because it seems to solve all of the problems that you might be having with the layout but just don’t.

    Unless you are actually displaying data that needs to be laid out in a table is highly not recommended to use one.

    Now, have you reviewed http://learnlayout.com/ ?

    You might also want to look at http://learn.shayhowe.com/html-css/

    If we’re starting out from a non-responsive viewpoint then two columns and individual divs inside would seem to be the obvious way to go here.

    If you actually need equal heights for each column there are a few options such as CSS tables [not actual tables] or JS.
