This layout was for a business that some friends and I were going to start, but we ended up having cash-flow issues, no surprise even though we had a rock-solid business plan, realistic projections, etc... The economy is crap right now, and banks aren't giving out SBA start-up loans without collateral. So, this one goes to the back-burner... Maybe one day. For now, I think a software company is a pretty good fallback.

"Druid City Books & Coffee will consist of a cafe/coffeehouse and bookstore,with the cafe and coffeehouse serving as the primary source of revenue for the business. The bookstore will generate revenue, but its chief function is to provide atmosphere, build a connection with the community, and drive traffic to the cafe. The business will open early in the morning for breakfast and will close at midnight or later, depending on demand."

This is currently a work in progress.

I'm waiting on more content and a few more images, but it's mostly done.

I went for a clean, fast, minimalistic approach since it's just a very simple informational site about the lab.

White, since that's the color commonly associated with laboratories and cleanliness, and the green the color of UAB's logo and such.

Anyway, suggestions are greatly welcomed.

**edit:
I'm very curious about something. How do these two images make you feel?

The inspiration for this layout was a previous layout that I did. I took the simplistic square idea and gave it a twist. This layout is fully fluid to a certain point. As you resize your text, the whole layout resizes. If you shrink your browser window, the layout should also resize to fit. However, if you have a high resolution, it won't be 100% width for aesthetic reasons.

I shall not be incorrect, so I set about to prove them wrong. This is the outcome. It's probably not really usable in the real world unless you have lots of bandwidth and don't mind pissing off dialup users. But it IS possible with CSS.
