Tara, did you check out my collection of 16 Liquid sites? They should provide you with some ideas on how to design such websites. You can also use that Firefox Firebug tool, that you've just installed, to see how those sites work.

Thats great Vivien, thank you. I kind of understand the theory behind the elastic website, what I can’t get my head round is thinking to design one. I am so used to a static bit of paper that doesn’t move it must be hard to think of all the implications an elastic website will have on your design?

Good luck with leaning HTML/CSS, Tara. Feel free to ask me any questions you have. I might even be able to write a series of articles for Graphic designers who are switching/learning to design for Web, so your questions would help me as well :-)

To put it simply, in order to design elastic web sites you need to specify the sizes (fonts, DIVs, etc) in relative units (em and %), not in absolute (px or pt).

I need to start taking a look at these – The CSS clip looks good, I am currently trying to learn HTML and CSS (its going very slowly). Its taking a lot getting my head round trying to think for web rather than print, I don’t think I will ever be able to work out how to design an elastic design. I have looked at CSS garden before and always found amazing how much CSS can change the same content.

Wonderful collection! I already knew about CSSclip, Design Melt Down and CSS Zen Garden. Gotta visit other galleries mentioned in this list. By the way, I like CSS Elite a lot. :) - Avi
