[Instantrails-users] Instant Rails and your own applications
Thanks, we take the whole MVC design pattern very seriously. To me, clean HTML and good use of CSS is very important. I regret we had to use tables for some of the site but they do have their place still. It also should make it easy to theme as the logos are all in CSS. ...thanks for your comments!
