an example of bad web design — no consideration for smaller windows
A List Apart Magazine (ISSN: 1534-0295) explores the design,
development, and meaning of web content, with a special focus on
web standards and best practices.
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.
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.
