GUI design without tables!!

[sanjoeapen]

Hi Folks,
I am asked by my clients to develop a GUI which displays data. They dont like the idea of showing data in table sructure. For ex: If a is a company, and b,c,d are all partners of a, then obviously some sort of table has to come to show the data on the screen for b,c,d. But the clients dont want it that they. They want it to be more interactive and dont like the idea of tables. Can some one please suggest me a website that very interactive and go inspiring. I would really appreciate if someone can help at the earliest.
Sample of what I made is attached.

Thanks in advance,

Warm Regards,
Sanjo

I think your client is looking for some CSS based layouts which has so many advantages over the table based layouts.

Use tables only if you want to display the data in a tabular fashion otherwise you can use CSS techniques to display whatever data you want to display.

Have a look at some of the following articles where you'll get the basics of CSS based layouts.

One (http://webdesign.about.com/od/css/a/aa102102a.htm)

Two (http://www.glish.com/css/)

Three (http://davespicks.com/essays/notables.html)

The screenshot you've shown there is a fine example of what tables should be used for.

Personally, though, I quite like the drag-and-drop icon style.
