Much like my homepage, Audi Redesigned uses information modules that rearrange themselves upon browser sizing. James asks if this will make a difference to usability. I wonder.

Personally I think this is a difficult but effective way to use screen real estate. Why difficult? It makes designing into a game of tetris…

    I think it’s bad usability practice: people seem to have a kind of memory of where they clicked to do a certain task, even if they don’t remember the words of the link (see http://www.iawiki.net/MuscleMemory ). And moving boxes around (resolutions differ between browsing sessions: windows get resized, different computers are used, …) messes that up.
