Liquid vs. Fixed Layout

its a fixed site.
why are you in love with it?
its got loads of fancy css3 going on, but... its not really that great.
any site that gives me a horizontal scroll at 1440px is a fail in my mind.
and its load time is way too long...which is simply frustrating.

and the navigation changes on the magazine page.
which is just plain stupid.
oh look its still hanging when I went to the brands page.
oh look the links are dead links...

this is a perfect case of design over functionality
sure a good design is important. functionality more so.

and I'd hate to see how this would go on a phone or tablet.

take some layout ideas from it for sure, but simplify so that it actually works.

and remember superfast internet and massive screens are the MINORITY, most screens are smaller than 1440.
