— no consideration for smaller windows

This site apparently gives good advice on various web-design issues, but I'd be rather sceptical given its appearance in my very reasonable rendering environment.

Assessment

  • All text is reduced — 0.8125em applied to <body>.
  • It has four (yes, 4) columns with fixed widths and absolute positioning.
  • It is duplicated under www​.alistapart​.com.

The appalling visual design makes the site a joke.

Seems like a more adaptive layout! Some graphics have not adapted, but still good!
