Creating a table

Bookmark and Share

Tables are a handy way to layout the contents of your webpage and are particuarly useful for pages such as Who's Who where the page contains different people each with a name and photo.

The image below shows how the following who's who page is created:

The table has 16 cells (4 rows x 4 columns = 16) and each cell contains different data. In the example above the first row holds a picture, and the second row holds the name and job title of the person in the row above.

This is then repeated for rows 3 and 4.

The table border is turned off so that when the web page is displayed it looks much clearner without the table lines.

Creating a table will vary depending on how you create your website, but if you use Church Edit then it is really simple to do:

1 - Click on the insert table icon when editing your page (Insert table)

2 - in the popup that appears enter the data for the table. For the example above we had 4 rows and 4 columns and had the table at 100% of the page width.  Having a cell padding of 4 creates a bit of space between each cell.
