Hi Patrick,

I took a look at your site concept and was rather startled by the similarity
to my site:
www.virtually-artistic.com
I'm in the middle of a redesign but you can look at the first three pages to
see what I'm doing. The site is composed entirely of absolutely positioned
DIVs. It's a cinch when you can overlap your tables and text any way you
like. This method does create a lot of headaches though. It has no fluidity,
but it's an interesting challenge.
