One problem, as Ingo pointed out, is the output of your CMS. Certain CMS 
programs output pretty awful code, and force you to use those tables you've 
been asked to get rid of. If the CMS your company has been using is one of 
those, you could end up pulling out all your hair and diving into that 50 
gallon drum of Aspirin ~dl~ has mentioned . . . 

One CMS I've had good luck with is ModX, which allows totally compliant and 
accessible layouts. It also has an importer so you can transfer all content 
from another CMS into ModX. Then you'll just have to build the xhtml/css 
template to match your company's "look".

I'd suggest starting with a modX template that is closest to what your company 
currently uses and customize from there. Once you have it up and running, this 
group can help you with css issues. ModX specific questions and templating 
questions will be better handled on the ModX forum.

Good luck!
