One thing i value highly when coding sites is the use of semantic markup. This means i.e if your coding a heading mark it up as a header <h1></h1> etc.
What it comes down to is losing tables for layout. The table tag was created for use for tabulated data not for controlling the visual aspect of your website.
You can control all the visual aspect of your website by using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and any change is just to one file.
Semantic markup helps greatly for search engine optimization but it also helps with how other browsers view your website especailly disable users braille browsers and WAP.
