Wejoinin: Signup sheets made easy.

Why go fluid?

One of our design decisions was to go with a fluid layout. This meant that the main content was going to expand horizontally with the browser

We noticed quite a few folks using layouts with multiple columns. And as we know, those columns get darn unwieldy when you try to stuff more than three. With a fixed layout, the columns were suffocating the cell content

So we decided to design for those of you with high resolutions (greater than 1024×768) and let you guys put that extra screen width to use.

A very interesting point: the fluid layout, when it becomes too wide, makes text nearly unreadable (longer lines of text increase visual complexity) and single-column tables, well, awkward. We had tossed around ideas of single-column signup sheets staying in a fixed-width layout, then going into an elastic layout once the layout exceeded x number of columns

With design, there’s always a tradeoff. Man.
