Not to be discouraging Karim, but why would you want to duplicate that site? I viewed it on three different screens and had difficulty in reading it each time. This site's homepage offers absolutely no indication of what the company does until you get at least two clicks in, and the MysteryMeat navigation in the Projects section makes me cringe. Also, the minimalist concept is taken way too far here. There is something to be said for 'white space', but your site shouldn't be ALL white space! Anyway, I think you wanted to replicate the resize action, not the layout/design. It appears they built the page in Flash, and set the container to maintain its proportions, but resize with the contents relative to the window size. This can be done using a table with size set to a percentage rather than a set pixel dimension. This will enable the table contents to 'flow' with window resizing. This would be the only inspiration I would recommend using from this site. In terms of solid web-design and usability, this site needs help. (In my opinion) :) - JB
