Replace "nested tables" with "nested divs", and this is exactly how web development today still looks, at least if your company employs a designer. Slicing is still a thing.

Then fire your designer and hire one who is competent for the job.

Sliced images were an ugly hack for the shortcomings of early CSS (or no CSS if you go back further still).

There's been no excuse for a very long time now.

After using Bootstrap I found myself in a nested div situation. Row + Column + Content/Cell.
