Confusion about page layout being called a table  en

I have been researching your product with independent reviews.  I have to be certain that I can make it work for what I need it to do.  In one of the reviews, it stated that the page layout is done in a table.  When I look at the source code for your web pages, I can see that your generator is your own product.  That is good.  Last software package I bought, the company did not use their own software to writie their own site.  And they admitted it after I purchased.  Thought that was pretty lame - showing off, but yet not showing off their own stuff.

Anyhow, I do not see any table notations in your html code.  So I think the person who said your site creates pages in a table misunderstood.  Your video shows a table type set up which obviously changes depending upon the selected template.  And you can modify widths and heights of the usable cells.  But the page layout is not a table per se.  It is still fluid, which allows for the repsonsive layout to do its thing.  If it were locked into a table, thus resizing the table would probably create an unfriendly user experience on small screens.  This is what I deal with now with my current software and I must let it go.

So is that correct?  The wording "table" and "cells" when laying out pages is only for a neat aligned page and really is not a table when the html is published?

Thank you Andre.

I am getting close to deciding.  But a new hiccup.  In the showcase of websites on this website, there is one: Linda Wedding Design.  The generator tag says it was created with WebSite X5 Professional ver. 11.  Yet when I looked at the site on a mobile device, it was not responsive.

So it makes me wonder, why?  Any thoughts or explanations on that?

Responsive is not -yet- in x5, they (Incomedia) are looking in to possibilities for this, it's a complex issue, hopefully we will get an answer soon that its'possible. But at the moment no, it's not responsive.
