Most amateur website designers use html tables when they’re creating a web page. In the late 1990s, when the dot-com boom led to a rapid growth in the ‘new media’ of web page creation and design, there began a trend of using HTML tables, and their rows, columns and table cells, to control the layout of whole web pages.
This was partly due to the limitations at the time of CSS support in major browsers, partly due to the new web designers’ lack of familiarity with CSS or with reasons (including HTML semantics and web accessibility) not to use any simple way quickly to achieve whatever layout they wanted, and partly due to a new breed of WYSIWYG web design tools such as Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe GoLive and Dreamweaver that encouraged this practice.
