When to use a table

Only use tables to present data.

Don’t use tables for visual changes to layout, for example to present a list because you think it looks better like that.

A table might not be the best way to present your content, instead you could use:

  • bulleted lists with headings and subheadings
  • single bulleted list, using commas to separate the information
