Well, I'm not trying to point you in another direction.. there's certainly a lot of work involved (meaning a good deal of money to be made) in redesigning your site.
It's just that in some respects I believe in the adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". There are several reasons for keeping tables in certain scenarios. This one being a directory service of sorts, might be one of those. Another would be in a forum situation.
If I were to approach it, in the rebuild sense, I'd only consider doing it if I were to rebuild the ENTIRE site using a better means of content management. But as you said, the clients upload their info from a form and mysql dumps it to a page via php... seems like it works fine to me.
What is your motive behind creating a tableless site? (and please don't give me the "it's the trendy thing to do" answer)... unless you just have a lot of money to ****away.
