Eric A. Meyer, of Netscape Communications, recently interviewed ESPN Associate Art Director Mike Davidson concerning ESPN’s undergoing website redesign. ESPN serves more than half a billion pages a month and has dropped the table-based layout of their home page in favor of structural markup and CSS layout - with the rest of the site soon to follow!

The interview discusses the benefits ESPN has saved in bandwidth (2 terabytes per day), their decision to deny access to those without standards compliant browsers, and even the browsers in which they tested their design.
