Hello,
I am redesigning my website and using a CSS structure instead of a table structure. Since the entire page will be different, including most content and code now, do you suggest redirecting to a new page with a 301 or keeping the page name the same? For example, when I am indexed again will the search engines pick up all of the differences with that amount of update and rank accordingly?

Thank you for your advice.

There are two things here:
- CSS for styling, and
- CSS for positioning.

The styling aspect sees that you make sure that all content is placed in headings, paragraphs, lists, tables (for tabular data), or forms, and that all <font>, <br>, and <center> tags, and spacer GIFs, are removed from the HTML code.

The next step is to wrap multiple blocks of code in <div> tags (synonymous with your table cells) and then use CSS to position those.

You can take things gradually. Do the styling stuff first.

There is no need to have a new URL for the content. Use the same URL for the redesigned pages.

The answer is simple, just update the page and don't for a 301 redirect.
